**When powering-on your equipment, you must turn on each device in the following order: devices connected to the input jacks&the MX-1&devices connected to the output jacks. Failure to observe this order could cause malfunctions or damage your equipment.

When powering-off your equipment, you must turn off each device in the following order: devices connected to the output jacks&the MX-1&devices connected to the input jacks.

**Before turning the unit on/off, always be sure to turn the volume down. Even with the volume turned down, you might hear some sound when switching the unit on/off. However, this is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.

Operation procedure

Connecting devices

Connect your equipment correctly as described below.

**To prevent malfunction and equipment failure, always turn down the volume, and turn off all the units before making any connections.

77Connecting external audio sources

External audio sources such as an analog synth or a DJ player can be connected to the INPUT 1–4 or 5/6 jacks, or to the DIGITAL IN jack.

NOTE

With the default settings, INPUT 1–4 are assigned as monaural inputs, and DIGITAL IN/OUT is assigned as digital input. If you want to input stereo sources to INPUT 1–4, or if you want to use DIGITAL IN/OUT as digital output, make the appropriate changes to the system settings.

&”System Settings: Channel link”

77Connecting AIRA products

AIRA products such as the TR-8 and TB-3 can be connected via a commercially available USB 2.0 cable to a USB HOST port.

77Connecting computer

If you want to mix the audio playback from your computer, use a commercially available USB 2.0 cable to connect the MX-1’s USB port to your computer. You must install the USB driver before connecting the MX-1 to your computer.

&”Rear Panel: USB (O) port”

**With the default settings, the audio playback from your computer is input to the PC channel in stereo.

**If no AIRA product is connected to the USB HOST ports, the audio playback from your computer can be input to USB 1–4 channels and mixed.

&”System Settings: Mixer mode”

77Connecting MIDI device

The MX-1 can receive MIDI Clock (F8) data to synchronize its tempo. It can also receive MIDI Start (FA) and MIDI Stop (FC) to start/stop itself.

77Connecting external effect device

If you want to use an external effect device or amp via the send/return jacks, connect your equipment to the AUX SEND jacks and AUX RETURN jacks.

&”Operation procedure: Setting the AUX level”

Synchronization settings

Here’s how to select the MIDI clock master in order to synchronize the tempo of the MX-1 and the connected devices.

1.Press the [SYNC] button to make it light.

2.Turn the [TEMPO] knob to select the MIDI clock master.

The clock master you select blinks in the display above the [TEMPO] knob.
