Making MIDI Connections
Before FIZMO can transmit or receive MIDI data—as described in Chapter 7—its rear-panel MIDI jacks must be
connected to the rest of your MIDI studio. Each jack handles a particular task:
• MIDI Thru—When FIZMO is part of a MIDI daisy-chain, with one MIDI device
connected to another and that one to the next so on, any MIDI data FIZMO
receives is passed along from this jack to the next device in the daisy-chain.
• MIDI Out—This jack transmits MIDI data generated by FIZMO, including data
produced by its keyboard, arpeggiator, FIZMO knobs or during a SysEx data
dump.
• MIDI In—FIZMO receives MIDI data from external devices using the MIDI In
jack. You can use MIDI to play FIZMO, add notes or supply timing information
to its arpeggiator, and receive dumps of SysEx data.

Supplying Power to FIZMO
Warning: Before connecting FIZMO’s power supply, make sure that FIZMO’s rear-panel Power button is in its
“out” position.
Tip: See Page 45 for additional information on polarization and grounding.
Connect the small plug of FIZMO’s AC power supply to FIZMO’s rear-panel Power In jack. Connect the
other end to a standard household outlet (if the supplied adapter doesn’t match your outlet, contact your
authorized ENSONIQ dealer).
