Overview
The ML10X is a MIDI-controlled reorderable Loop Switcher.
There are a total of 10 independent loops available, configured in 5 TRS send and return
ports.
The send and return ports are called Loop A , Loop B , Loop C , Loop D and Loop E . All
the ports are TRS ports, which means they take in a Tip and Ring connection.
Each Tip and Ring connection can be programmed independently. That means, you can
connect a Distortion pedal to Loop A Tip , and a Delay pedal to Loop A Ring , and then route
them to run in series.
For example:
Input Tip >> Loop A Tip >> Loop A Ring >> Output Tip
Since the Tip and Ring connections on each Loop can be used independently, that means that
you can connect up to 10 devices running in Mono and be able to switch and reorder them.
All the inputs and outputs are buffered.
