Connections / Examples of use

Connections

All connections are located on the back of the instrument.
USB
Host (type A),
Device (type micro B)

Power supply

Mixface can be directly powered from the USB Device
port, from a PC or other compatile and certified supply
sources or with a set of 3 standard 1,5V AAA batteries.
The main switch has three positions that correspond,
from right to left, respectively to battery power, device
off and power via USB.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Never connect power sources to the USB HOST port.

USB ports

There are two USB ports on Mixface: the Device-type
socket for computer connection and the Host-type
socket for connection to a MIDI Controller (SL or not).
The "Device" type USB connector (Universal Serial Port)
allows connection with compatible external units (eg:
Computers) and to update the firmware.
When Mixface is connected to the computer via USB,
3 MIDI ports are visible:
•
"SLMIX USB" (Port 1): to be used as a Controller;
•
"SLMIX USB" (Port 2): firmware updates;
•
"SLMIX USB" (Port 3): to be used as control surface
in DAW mode.
NOTE
Mixface can supply an external device connected to its
USB Host port, only if connected to an external power
supply through its USB Device port.

Installing batteries

Make sure that the device if off. Raise the stand and
open the battery cover. Making sure to observe the
correct polarity, Insert the batteries. Close the battery
cover.
NOTE
Be sure to remove the batteries in order to prevent it
from leaking when the unit is not in use for extended
periods.

Bluetooth

In Bluetooth mode, there is only one MIDI port called
"SLMIX BT".
IMPORTANT NOTE
Since the Bluetooth connection does not allow to have
multiple MIDI ports, you can not use the device in the
two modes (DAW and CTRL) at the same time, if you
use the connection via Bluetooth only.
For the same reason, in some cases, not all DAW's are
supported via Bluetooth. The DAW selection menu
and the communication port will guide you in the
selection of the allowed options.
Kensington security slot
This connector can be used with a Kensington®-style
security lock to protect your SL Mixface from possible
theft.
