DIGITAL AUDIO IN/OUT Connectors
(S/P DIF COAXIAL)
These are coaxial-type S/P DIF format digital in/out connectors.
These connectors input and output a digital audio signal
(stereo). The output signal is identical to the signal that is output
from the OUTPUT A (MIX) jacks.
* S/P DIF is a digital interface format used for consumer digital
audio devices.
* If you switch off the power to an external device that is
connected to the DIGITAL AUDIO IN jack or disconnect the
cable, noise may subsequently be heard in the input from
DIGITAL AUDIO IN. If this occurs, correctly reconnect the
external device, or turn off the Fantom-G's [MIX IN] switch.

MIDI Connectors (IN, OUT, THRU)
These connectors can be connected to other MIDI devices to
receive and transmit MIDI messages.

FOOT PEDAL
CTRL (CONTROL) 1, 2 Jacks
You can connect optional expression pedals (EV-5, etc.) or
optional pedal switches (DP series etc.) to these jacks. By
assigning a desired function to a pedal, you can use it to select or
modify sound or perform various other control. → (p. 31)

* Use only the specified expression pedal (EV-5; sold separately).
By connecting any other expression pedals, you risk causing
malfunction and/or damage to the unit.
HOLD Jack
An optional pedal switch (DP series, FS-5U etc.) can be
connected to this jack for use as a hold pedal. → (p. 31)
This can also be set so it supports the use of half-pedaling
techniques. So, after connecting an optional pedal switch (DP
series etc.), you can employ pedal work to achieve even finer
control in performances in which piano tones are used.
