1.2. Back Panel of the xCEE
The AC power is universal, and requires no adapters for international voltages. The xCEE uses a power cable
with the standard IEC-13 line plug.
Back Panel of the Continuum EaganMatrix Expander (CEE)
The Aes3 Link In and Aes3 Link Out are for connecting the xCEE to the Continuum Fingerboard. These
connections require two digital audio XLR cables, as described in Section 2.
The Aes3 Audio In and Aes3 Audio Out are standard 24-bit digital audio input and output connections. The
digital audio out is at 48 or 96 kHz sample rate, or synced to any audio rate supplied by the AES3 audio input.
For more details, please see the Continuum Fingerboard User's Guide.
If you have Continuum Voltage Converter, connect your CVC to the xCEE's Data 4 connector, but connect all
your Midi equipment directly to the Continuum's Midi In and Out connectors. The CVC's Thru connector will
not be operational when an EaganMatrix Expander is in use.
If you have two CVCs, you can connect the second CVC to the xCEE's Data 2 connector, for a total of 32 CV
outputs.
If you own a Tri-Octave Pedal, it may be plugged into at the Control 1 input of your xCEE. This allows you to
use the Tri-Octave Pedal in addition to two other pedals connected to your Continuum's pedal jacks.
The Control 2,3,4 connectors, Data 1,3 connectors, Out 1 and Out 2, and Buttons 1 and 2 are not used at this
time, but are available for possible implementation in future firmware updates.
The DSP inside your Continuum together with the two DSPs inside your xCEE create a single stereo audio
stream, available through the analog headphone output on your Continuum Fingerboard.
2.
Connecting the xCEE to the Continuum Fingerboard
Connect the EaganMatrix Expander to your Continuum Fingerboard with two digital audio XLR cables as
follows:
from Continuum's Aes3 Out
to Continuum's Aes3 In
Connect the Continuum Fingerboard's Aes3 Out to the xCEE's Aes3 Link In. Connect the xCEE's Aes3 Link Out
to the Continuum Fingerboard's Aes3 In. It is best to use proper digital audio XLR cables for this connection,
which are different from analog XLR cables. Digital audio XLR cables have an impedance of 110 ohms.
When these connections have been made, turn on your Continuum Fingerboard and your xCEE. After flashing
violet during startup synchronization, the LED on the Continuum Fingerboard and the two LEDs on your xCEE
will shine a steady blue.
