 Left side of Rear Panel  [USB TO HOST] terminal Used to connect this instrument to a computer via a USB cable, and allows you to transfer MIDI data and audio data between the devices. Unlike MIDI, USB can handle multiple ports via a single cable (page 56). For information about how the MODX handles Ports, see page 56. NOTE Audio data sending capability for this instrument is a maximum 10 channels (5 stereo channels). Audio data receiving capability is a maximum 4 channels (2 stereo channels).  [USB TO DEVICE] terminal Used to connect this instrument to a USB flash drive. This lets you save data created on this instrument to a USB flash drive and load data from a USB flash drive to the instrument. Save/Load operations can be performed: [UTILITY]  [Contents]  [Store/Save] or [Load]. NOTE • Only USB flash drives can be recognized by this instrument. No other USB devices (such as a hard disk drive, CD-ROM drive and USB hub) can be used. • The instrument supports the USB 1.1 to 3.0 standard. However, note that the transfer speed differs depending on the data type and the condition of this instrument.  Right side of Rear Panel  MIDI [IN], [OUT] terminals MIDI [IN] is for receiving control or performance data from another MIDI device, such as an external sequencer, letting you control this instrument from the connected separate MIDI device. MIDI [OUT] is for transmitting all control, performance and playback data from this instrument to another MIDI device, such as an external sequencer. Also, MIDI [OUT] can be used as MIDI Thru. To change the settings, press the [UTILITY] button to open the Utility display.  FOOT SWITCH [ASSIGNABLE]/[SUSTAIN] jacks For connection of a separately sold FC3/FC4/FC5 Footswitch to the [SUSTAIN] jack and a FC4/FC5 Footswitch to the [ASSIGNABLE] jack. When connected to the [SUSTAIN] jack, the Footswitch controls sustain. When connected to [ASSIGNABLE], it can control one of various assignable functions. NOTE • The term "FC3" in this Owner's Manual refers collectively to the FC3 and other footswitches compatible with the FC3, such as the FC3A. • The term "FC4" in this Owner's Manual refers collectively to the FC4 and other footswitches compatible with the FC4, such as the FC4A. Controls and Functions  FOOT CONTROLLER [1]/[2] jacks For connection of a separately sold foot controller (FC7, etc.). This jack lets you continuously control one of various different assignable functions for Part edit-such as volume, tone, pitch, or other aspects of the sound (see the Reference Manual PDF document).  OUTPUT [L/MONO] and [R] jacks Line level audio signals are output via these standard phone jacks. For monophonic output, use only the [L/MONO] jack.  [PHONES] (Headphone) jack This standard stereo phones jack is for connection to a set of stereo headphones. This jack outputs audio signals identical to those from the OUTPUT [L/MONO] and [R] jacks.  A/D INPUT [L/MONO]/[R] jacks External audio signals can be input via these phone jacks (1/4" mono phone plug). Various devices such as a microphone, CD player or synthesizer can be connected to these jacks and their audio input signal can be sounded as the Audio Part. In addition, you can use the special Vocoder feature by connecting a microphone to this [L/MONO] jack and inputting your voice to the microphone. You can also use the Envelope Follower and ABS (Audio Beat Sync) features. Envelope Follower is a function for detecting the volume envelope of the input signal waveform and modifying sounds dynamically. NOTE • A guitar or bass having active pickups can be directly connected. However, when using passive pickups, connect the instrument via an effect device. • The Vocoder/Envelope Follower can be controlled from all Part outputs, and not just the A/D INPUT [L/MONO]/[R] jacks. ABS (Audio Beat Sync) is a function for detecting the beat of the audio signal input from these jacks and synchronizing the beat with the Motion Sequencer or Arpeggio. Use 1/4" mono phone plugs. For stereo signals (such as from audio equipment), use the [L/MONO]/[R] jacks. For mono signals (such as from a microphone or guitar), use only the [L/MONO] jack. For details about the Envelope Follower and ABS features, see the Reference Manual PDF document.  [1] (Standby/On) switch Press to set the power to On or Standby. [DC IN] Plug the AC adaptor supplied with this instrument. 17 MODX Owner's Manual
