empress midibox

The Empress Midibox performs a simple function. It
allows MIDI signals to be processed by Empress pedals
that have a control port. The current-based MIDI
protocol is incompatible with the voltage-based
Empress control port. The Empress Midibox simply
converts the signal from current to voltage.

The Midibox does not convert a MIDI signal into an
analog signal. The Midibox can't be used to output CV
signals. The Midibox can't receive MIDI signals from
Empress pedals, it can only send MIDI signals to Empress
pedals.

midi thru: sends out the signal received by the midi in
connector. This signal is unchanged by the midibox and
is useful for connecting other MIDI devices to the same
source and daisy chaining MIDI devices together.

midi in: connect using a standard 5 pin MIDI cable
to any MIDI compatible source.

control ports: connect this to a control port on your
Empress pedal using a standard patch cord. You can
connect up to 4 Empress pedals.
