Important: Most of MIDImix's controls may be automatically mapped to control various track-
specific parameters in your DAW. If your DAW lets you assign its parameters to a hardware
MIDI controller ("MIDI learn"), you can further customize MIDImix's control mapping.
1. USB Port: Use a standard USB cable to connect this USB port to your computer. This
connection is used to send and receive MIDI data to and from your computer. The
computer's USB port also provides ample power to MIDImix. If you connect it to a USB
hub, make sure it is a powered hub.
