Rear panel

[Contrast adjustment] knob
This adjusts the display contrast. The visibility
of the display will vary depending on your
viewing angle. Adjust this knob as necessary.
USB connector
Use a USB cable to connect the microKONTROL
to your computer for MIDI message
transmission and reception.
PEDAL jack
A damper pedal or pedal switch can be
connected to this jack. You can assign a control
change to the connected pedal. You can specify
whether the pedal will transmit a control change
value of 127 when pressed and 0 when released,
or alternately transmit 0 and 127 each time it is
pressed.
MIDI connectors
You can connect external MIDI devices to these
connectors, for sending and receiving MIDI
messages. When connected to a computer via
USB, you can also use these as MIDI ports for
your computer.
Introduction–Parts and what they do
Power switch
This switch powers-on the microKONTROL. Set
the switch to the appropriate position for the
type of power connection you are using. (☞p.12
"Making connections and turning the power
on")
Power supply connector
Connect the included AC adapter here.
Use the AC adapter if you are using the MIDI
connectors to control a connected device. If you
use a USB cable to connect the microKONTROL
to your computer, power will be supplied from
the computer (USB bus power) and the AC
adapter will not be necessary.
Some computers may not be able to supply
power via USB bus power. In this case, use
a self-powered USB hub (that obtains
power from an external supply) or use the
AC adapter.
