QUICK START GUIDE

WELCOME TO CONDUIT

GETTING STARTED

Conduit is a premium, easily configurable, ultra-reliable MIDI interface that will work with most 1/4" MIDI equipped effects pedals.

It also offers the best USB computer connection available for TRS MIDI pedals.

SMART MIDI DISTRIBUTION

Each of Conduit’s four bi-directional 1/4" TRS jacks are independently configurable to work with a variety of 1/4" MIDI communication modes. Enjoy easy configuration with no DIP switches, custom cables, or screwdriver required. Built-in ground isolation ensures the quiet operation you expect from Strymon. Link multiple Conduits to control additional 1/4" MIDI pedals.

USB INTERFACE FOR YOUR PEDALS

Send MIDI control change messages from a sequencer to perfectly sync pedal parameter changes, automate pedal preset changes, load and save presets, or send SysEx messages—all from your computer.

CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS

ACTIVITY LEDs

Activity LEDs will blink GREEN when MIDI information is present at a 1/4" jack.

POWER

Use an adapter with the following rating: 9VDC center negative, 50mA minimum. Power supply is not required when connected via USB.

STATUS LED for 5-pin DIN I/O

Status LED lights up GREEN to indicate Conduit is powered on and will flash AMBER when MIDI data is passing through Conduit to the 1/4" jacks.

1/4" TRS MIDI I/O Jacks 1-4

Out of the box, Conduit’s 1/4" TRS MIDI jacks are configured to work with Strymon pedals, with no further setup necessary. Each jack is capable of sending and receiving MIDI data, and can be configured to work with a

variety of different 1/4" MIDI communication modes. You can find out which configuration will work with your specific pedals by visiting strymon.net/ support/conduit.

USB-C

Used for computer connectivity. See the Using Conduit with a Computer section.

SET BUTTON

Used for TRS MIDI I/O Jack configuration. The SET button can be pressed at any time to show configuration state of 1/4" TRS jacks.

DIN MIDI I/O Jacks

MIDI IN receives MIDI data from an external MIDI controller and sends the data to all four 1/4" jacks. All MIDI data sent back from 1/4" TRS connected pedals is merged and sent to the MIDI OUT.

When USB is connected, MIDI data received at the 1/4" jacks from the connected pedals is no longer merged to the MIDI OUT port, but is instead sent to the connected computer via it’s own MIDI port.
