Making Connections With The Cv In Jacks; Connecting To A Midi Device Or A Computer - Korg Minilogue XD Owner's Manual

Making connections with the CV IN jacks

Connect these jacks to a external device that can output CV signals to control the minilogue xd.
Connect the CV IN jack of the minilogue xd to the CV OUT jack of the external device using a
monaural mini cable (or a stereo mini cable).
Configure the CV IN jack settings on the minilogue xd from "Button 5 (CV INPUT)" (p.33).
See the owner's manuals of each respective external device to synchronize.

Connecting to a MIDI device or a computer

MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, and is a worldwide standard for exchanging
various types of musical data between electronic musical instruments and computers.
When MIDI cables are used to connect two or more MIDI devices, performance data can be ex-
changed between the devices, even if they were made by different manufacturers.
MIDI data can also be exchanged between the minilogue xd and your personal computer using
a single USB cable. The minilogue xd lets you assign MIDI control change numbers (CC#) to the
major parameters that affect the sound, and control these parameters from an external MIDI se-
quencer while you play the tone generator. You can also use the front panel knobs or buttons to
transmit these control change messages, in order to control an external MIDI device.
You can also synchronize the minilogue xd's tempo to the MIDI clock of an external MIDI se-
quencer or other device, so that the minilogue xd will play in time with the external device and
with any changes you make.
Controlling an external MIDI tone generator from the minilogue xd
If you want to use the minilogue xd's keyboard, controllers, and sequencer to play sounds on or
control an external MIDI tone generator, connect the minilogue xd's MIDI OUT connector to the
external MIDI tone generator's MIDI IN connector using a MIDI cable.
