FAQ’s
Q. How do I connect this to a rack?
A. The Ext Kit fits on to a flat base rack drawer but the base of the rack needs to have an internal measurement of at least 413mm
Q. Can I control the EXT KIT from a MIDI controller?
A. No. The 7 pin DIN connector doesn’t use MIDI to communicate between the two sections, it uses something else entirely, so trying
to use only the EXT KIT with a different MIDI controller won’t work. You can connect MIDI to the MIDI IN on the floor controller unit
and use it that way, but not directly to the EXT KIT
