Basic connections and settings

This section explains basic connections and data flow for the FA-66.
Refer to the block diagram printed on the front cover of the manual as you read
this section.
* Before making connections to other equipment, turn down the volume of all your
equipment and turn off the power to avoid causing malfunctions or damaging your
speakers.
* When connection cables with resistors are used, the volume level of equipment
connected to the inputs (Input jacks) may be low. If this happens, use connection
cables that do not contain resistors, such as those from the Roland PCS series.

Basic connections

Use a FireWire (IEEE 1394) cable to connect the FA-66 to your computer. MIDI
data and audio data are transferred in both directions via the FireWire (IEEE
1394) cable.
By connecting headphones or monitor speakers as shown in the diagram below,
you can monitor the playback from your software or the sound from an
instrument or audio device connected to the FA-66.
