MIDI sequencer (hardware or in your DAW), or any other controller that sends MIDI notes. The MAFD 2hp can receive MIDI as a USB device or via a standard MIDI cable. It responds to MIDI note/velocity, pressure, and mod wheel messages. Any 8 adjacent notes correspond to and trigger the 8 steps on a DFAM.
Follow these steps to get the most out of your MAFD 2hp. 1. Power your MAFD 2hp with E ITHER 1) the included 16-pin ribbon cable connected to your Eurorack power supply O R 2) the angled micro-USB cable included with the standalone case and power supply.

2. To the front panel, connect the straight micro-USB cable and/or a MIDI cable to the DIN/TRS adapter, and connect the other end(s) to a computer or MIDI controller.

3. Patch the MAFD 2hp “TO ADV/CLOCK” jack to the ADV/CLOCK jack on your DFAM.

4. Optionally, patch the MAFD “VELOCITY” and “PRESSURE” output jacks to input jacks of your choice. The “VELOCITY” jack outputs 0-5V corresponding to MIDI velocities 0-127, and the “PRESSURE” jack outputs 0-5V corresponding to MIDI (poly and channel aftertouch) pressures 0-127 and/or the mod wheel. 5.

Optional Case Assembly Instructions 1. Unscrew the four screws on the end of the DFAM to remove the wooden end cap, and install the matching case piece in its place.

2. Install the standoffs and MAFD 2hp using the screws with the standoffs. Avoid touching the insides of the MAFD--static discharge can break it. Notice that the power jack on the bottom side of the MAFD 2hp goes in the hole on the wooden support piece.

3. Install the final wooden case piece with the two included screws. Don’t overtighten. In case the screws get mixed up, the two screws for this step are a little longer (8mm) than the four (6mm) screws used in the standoffs.

4. Plug the right angled micro-USB jack into the bottom for power with the included power brick. Change log: v1.0 - January 2021 - Released. LImited Warranty: Sonoclast warrants the MAFD 2hp to the original owner to be free from defect or workmanship for 1 year from the date of purchase.
