Using the ModLink

The Philtre can be connected to other effect boxes in the ModFX
family via the ModLink. The ModLink is a cable-free connection
between two ModFX units that transfers digital audio and word
clock. The 9-pin male connector on the left side of the unit is the
ModLink IN port. The 9-pin female connector on the right side is
the ModLink OUT port. By directly connecting two ModFX units
via the ModLink, audio and power will pass from the left-most
unit to the right-most unit.
Inputs
Master
The audio signal flows from left to right. The Master will send its
digital audio output to the First Slave, and the First Slave will, in
turn, send its output to the Second Slave.
