Page 3: Introduction
MIDI and I2C simultaneously. Or you could decide to use one IXO with multiple modules. For example, by placing it between your disting mk4 and your disting EX, you could use the IXO MIDI ports with the disting mk4 and the I2C port with the disting EX! MIDI TRS For as long as we can remember, MIDI has travelled over 5-pin DIN cables. -
Page 4: I2C
As you read that page, keep in mind that IXO does not provide a powered bus – it is totally passive. A powered bus may be needed for more complicated I2C networks that include several modules communicating with each other. -
Page 5: Operation
OPERATION MIDI Operation Once IXO is installed as described above, the attached module will be able to send and receive MIDI using the top two jacks on IXO. 1. Check your module’s manual to see what its capabilities are, with respect to sending and receiving MIDI. -

Page 7: Example Configurations
Expert Sleepers disting Mk4. The TRS MIDI output from a Beatstep Pro MIDI controller is connected to the MIDI input jack on IXO, allowing it to send MIDI note and CC data to disting. MIDI data sent from disting (eg: from algorithm H-5 Dual Euclidean Patterns) will be sent to the connected O-Coast. -
Page 8: Example 2: Accord Melisma
Despite the fact that the Accord Melisma by SDS Digital has a TRS MIDI output jack on its front panel, IXO can serve as a separate set of MIDI input and output jacks for the module. This adds the ability to merge MIDI messages as well (see the Accord Melisma documentation for more information.) In the example below, a 16n faderbank is sending... -
Page 9: Example 3: Disting Ex Via Midi & I2C
Example 3: via MIDI & I2C This example takes full advantage of disting EX’s MIDI and I2C capabilities. IXO provides TRS jacks for MIDI input, MIDI output, and I2C. All functions can be used at the same time. The ability to map controls from the Keystep Pro and the 16n faderbank to parameters in disting EX, means that complex algorithms can be used and controlled with knobs, sliders, and switches instead of relying solely on disting’s on-screen menus. -
Page 10: Example 4: Ixo Serving Two Separate Modules
Example 4: IXO serving two separate modules In this example, IXO has its MIDI jacks connected to disting EX and its I2C jack connected to a separate module entirely (eg: teletype or ER-301.) In the diagram below, disting EX is being used to record multisamples from an analog synth, as described in Expert Sleepers’... -
Page 11: Frequently Asked Questions
A: Yes, the MIDI Manufacturers Association approved a standard in 2018. Unfortunately, we all have gear that was made before the standard, which is why MIDIXO and IXO exist. It’s worth noting that the specification says that 2.5 mm connectors are preferred over 3.5 mm. -
Page 12: Technical Specifications
Both IXO and MIDIXO have polarity switches for the two MIDI jacks. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS IXO is designed to be used in a Eurorack-compatible case. It is a passive module and does not require a Eurorack power supply or a connection to your bus board. -
