QRS PNO3WB
83529 MIDI Upgrade Kit Instructions
Manual Revision: March, 2022
PNO3 OS Versions 5.xx & Above
PNO3WB Processor
To the MIDI IN socket of the slave device.
This kit has all of the parts needed to use the PNO3WB processor as a MIDI controller.
THE PLAYER SYSTEM THAT THIS KIT CONNECTS WITH MUST BE FUNCTIONAL
This PNO3WB will not “calibrate” the keys or pedal solenoids of the controlled unit.
Although, the PianoDisc control box is not needed when using the PNO3WB processor.
YOU MAY WANT TO ADD A MIXER OR ANOTHER SPEAKER
If the original controller AND the QRS PNO3WB units are used, a mixer would be used to combine the
audio outputs from the two controllers into one speaker. The second opon would be to add another
powered speaker to use with the QRS PNO3WB processor.
PNO3WB processors used as MIDI controllers are powered from the 9VDC jack.
The 9VDC power adapter for this socket IS supplied with this kit.
This PianoForce unit, determined by the type
of “Power Rail” connecon shown here,
doesn’t have a MIDI IN port so it will NOT
connect to the QRS PNO3WB processor.
