Power Supply
Do not connect this unit to the same electrical outlet that is being used by an electrical appli-
ance that is controlled by an inverter or a motor (such as a refrigerator, washing machine, mi-
crowave oven, or air conditioner). Depending on the way the electrical appliance is being
used, power supply noise may cause this unit to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If
it is not practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power supply noise filter be-
tween this unit and the electrical outlet.
To prevent malfunction and equipment failure, always make sure to turn off the power on all
your equipment before you make any connections.
Although the LCD and LEDs are switched off when the unit is turned off, this does not mean
that the unit has been completely disconnected from the source of power. If you need to turn
off the power completely, first turn off the unit’s switch, then unplug the power cord from the
power outlet. For this reason, the outlet you choose to connect the power cord’s plug to
should be one that is within easy reach and easily accessible.
Power Switch is only for functional switching of the device. It does not disconnect the device
from the mains.
Due to risk of electric shock, replacement of fuse and battery are performed only from an au-
thorized dealer of the manufacturer or a person with similar qualifications.
Placement
Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment containing large power transform-
ers) may induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or move it
further away from the source of interference.
This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use this device in the vi-
cinity of such receivers.
Noise may be produced if wireless communication devices, such as cell phones, are operated
in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while
conversing. Should you experience such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices
so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch them off.
When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/or humidity is very dif-
ferent, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may
result if you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you
must allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has completely evaporated.
Do not put anything that contains water over this unit.
Also, avoid the use of insecticides, perfumes, alcohol, nail polish, spray cans, etc., near the
unit. Swiftly wipe down any liquid that spills on the unit using a dry, soft cloth.

Additional Precautions
Please beware that the content of SD card can be irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction,
or the improper operation of the unit. To protect yourself against the risk of losing important
data, we recommend that you periodically save a backup copy of SD card.
Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s buttons, sliders, or other controls; and
when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
When disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way
you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal elements.
A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during normal operation.
To avoid disturbing others nearby, try to keep the unit’s volume at reasonable levels. You
may prefer to use headphones, so you do not have to be concerned about those around you.
When you need to transport the unit, pack it in the box (including padding) that it came in, if
possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.
Maintenance
For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has been slightly damp-
ened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, nonabrasive
detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of dis-
coloration and/or deformation.

MIDI and AUDIO connections
MIDI connections
Connect MIDI IN of the sampler to MIDI OUT of the synthesizer or MIDI keyboard, which is
master to the sampler. You can do this connection by MIDI cable (included).
The MIDI OUT of the sampler can be configured from MENU.
AUDIO connections
Always connect the audio output of the sampler DIRECTLY to a mixing console, not through the
audio input of the synthesizer.
Shown in Picture 2 audio connections are INCORRECT and leads to a DRASTIC reduction in
sound quality. The correct way is shown in picture 1.
Audio Output Settings
Volume potentiometer is located on the front panel and controls the level of both the headphones
and the main audio outputs located on the rear panel. Headphone is designed to work with low-
impedance headphones.
CAUTION!
Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing
loss.

Breath controller
[Breath IN] connector on the rear panel of the sampler is used to connect an analog control-
ler. Analog controller means the following: controller, pedal, potentiometer or any other type of
device that produces an analog signal. This connector provides +5 volts direct current (DC) and the
input signal must also be in a range from 0 to +5 volts. In this input most often are plugged breath
controllers from Juzisound or Yamaha model BC-3.
As a result of the input analog value, the sampler can generate simultaneously up to 4 differ-
ent types of MIDI messages. They can be targeted both internally (to the engine of the sampler) and
externally (via MIDI output of the sampler). When messages are sent out, they can be simultaneous-
ly sent in 3 different MIDI channels to be used to control other external MIDI device. An example
for this is a breath controller, which controls simultaneously the sampler and the keyboard that con-
trols the sampler. MIDI output of the sampler along with the analog input can be considered as sep-
arate and independent from the sampler devices for converting analog to MIDI signal. To use the
built-in analog converter to drive an external device, you should use another MIDI cable that is
connected from MIDI OUT of the sampler to MIDI IN of the synthesizer you want to control. If
you want to control more than one external MIDI synthesizer, then you need to connect MIDI
THRU of the first controlled MIDI synthesizer with MIDI IN on the second. If the external synthe-
sizers are more than two, then you need to connect MIDI OUT of the second to MIDI IN of the
third and so to the end of the chain.
