CONNECTING A FOOT SWITCH
If you own a MIDI Express XT or micro express and you
would like to use a foot switch with it, connect it as shown
below in Figure 2-7. For more information about how a
foot switch can be used, see “The Pedal tab” on page 46.
Figure 2-7: Connecting a foot switch.
CONNECTING MULTIPLE USB INTERFACES
The USB ( Universal Serial Bus ) specification allows you to
connect multiple MOTU interfaces to a single computer.
You can mix and match any combination of MOTU USB
interfaces to suit your needs.
Figure 2-8: An inexpensive, standard USB hub allows you to connect multiple
MOTU USB MIDI interfaces. You can even mix and match different models of
MOTU interfaces, using the combination that best suites your needs for
synchronization, number of MIDI ports, etc.
The flat, “Type A” USB plug on the
USB cable from each MOTU interface
connects to the USB hub.
