(included)

Mixer

DC 9V jack

Cable hook

USB B connector

This connector allows the minilogue to

exchange MIDI messages with your computer.

Power switch

Hold this switch in to turn the

minilogue On or Oﬀ.

MIDI IN, OUT connectors

Connect these to an external MIDI device so that MIDI

data can be transmied or received.

SYNC IN, OUT jacks

T

he minilogue steps can be synchronized with other devices using

th

ese jacks. A pulse sent from the audio output of another device or

DA

W can be used by connecting it to the SYNC IN jack. Use an 1/8"

ca

ble (mini-phone plug) to sync with Korg volca products.

AUDIO IN jack

This standard 1/4" TS jack accepts a

mono audio signal from another

synthesizer, instrument, or external

sound source.

OUTPUT jack

This standard 1/4" TS jack

sends the sound of the

minilogue to your powered

monitoring system, mixer,

recording setup, or external

ampliﬁer. The level is

controlled by the MASTER
