Connecting AC Power
Before making any power connections, make sure the Micron’s
power switch is turned off. Then plug the adapter into the Micron
and into a wall outlet.
Making Audio Connections
• Stereo outputs. Connect two cables from the Micron’s left
and right outputs to two inputs of an amp or mixer.
• Headphones. Plug a set of headphones into the headphone
jack on the rear panel.
Connecting the Foot Pedals
The Micron has two pedal jacks marked (sustain) and (expr). If
you have a sustain and/or expression pedal (they are not included
with the Micron), plug these pedals into their respective jacks.
(sustain) is designed to work with any standard momentary
footswitch. It doesn’t matter whether the footswitch is normally
open or closed, as long as you plug it in before powering up your
Micron; the instrument will calibrate itself.
(expr) is designed to work with a Roland EV-5 pedal or
equivalent.
WARNING: When connecting
audio cables or turning
power on and off, make sure
that the amplifiers in your
system are turned off or the
volume controls are turned
down. If you don’t do this,
you can create loud bursts of
sound that might damage
your speakers.
NOTE: If your sustain pedal
response is backward (i.e.,
notes sustain when your foot
is off the pedal), turn off your
Micron and make sure the
footswitch plug is fully
inserted into the (sustain)
jack. Then, turn the Micron
back on while keeping your
foot off the footswitch.
