Nemesis Audio 4
CPU B: A USB-B connector for connecting to one of the host computer systems, most commonly the
“Backup” machine. This socket is the output of the internal USB hub, and so contains signals from
Keyboard and Mouse (when switched) and the internal USB MIDI device.
EXP: Expansion Port. See Nemesis website for currently available expansion cards.
MIDI A-D: 4x 5-Pin DIN standard MIDI connections. Allows interfacing between traditional MIDI
equipment and the CCS-2. MIDI connectors A & B are configurable as Input or Output connectors to
increase flexibility (via the Preset Manager software), whilst connectors C & D are always outputs. To
further increase connectivity, connectors A & B have additional wiring options to allow them to be
used as both input and output connectors simultaneously with suitable adaptor cabling (see Pinouts
for more information). When used in this way, the connector should be configured as an input, with
the output signal being found on the additional pins. Note that this does mean the connector is no
longer “standard MIDI compliant”, so there are internal jumpers which can be removed to defeat
this operation if compliancy is important.
GPO: 15-Pin Female D-Sub. Provides access to the 4 internal GPO changeover relays. The relays can
be set as simple switchover contacts or pulse operation to simulate button presses via the Preset
Manager software. External power can also be sourced from this connector, see Pinouts.
GPI 1-8: 9-Pin Female D-Sub. Provides access to GPI inputs 1-8, which operate as “close to ground”
input switches. Functionality of these inputs is determined by the current configuration as defined
by the Preset Manager software. See Pinouts for individual pin information.
GPI 9-11:3-Pin Female XLR connections for providing access to GPI’s 9-11, in a format ready for
connection to an analogue multi-core. Most commonly used for long-drive inputs such as
implementing a remote Start/Stop button solution for backing tracks or remote control operation.
Internally protected up to +/-70V to prevent cross-connection to Comms or Phantom-Powered
systems causing damage to the CCS-2. Functionality of the inputs is determined by the current
configuration as defined by the Preset Manager software.
REMOTE: 5 Pin Female XLR connection. A standard Nemesis Remote Connection port for remote
button boxes and control. Enables 2 remote button and 2 remote lamps to be connected to the CCS-
2. Exact operation is determined by the current preset as defined by the Preset Manager software.
Most commonly set up to reflect the state of the front panel user buttons for remote operation.
Front Panel Menu Options

01 Set MIDI Chan Override: Override the MIDI channels set for CCS-2 generated messages and lock
to a specific channel. Available options are Off (use channels defined in Preset Manager), 1-16.
