1. Power Input: If you do not want to use

a computer in your setup (i.e., if you

are using MPK225 to control an

external MIDI module), connect

MPK225's power input to a power

outlet using an optional power adapter

(6V DC, 1A, center-positive, sold

separately). Alternatively, you can connect MPK225's USB Port to a power outlet using a

standard USB charger (sold separately).

2. Power Adapter Restraint: You can secure a power adapter cord to this restraint to help

avoid disconnecting it accidentally.

3. Power Switch: Press this button to power the MPK225 on or off.

4. Kensington Lock: You may use this Kensington lock slot to secure the MPK225 to a

table or other surface.

5. USB Port: Use a standard USB cable to connect this USB port to your computer. The

computer's USB port provides ample power to MPK225. You can also power MPK225 by

connecting this USB port to a power outlet using a standard USB charger (sold

separately). This connection is also used to send and receive MIDI data to and from your

computer.

This connection is also relevant to MPK225's MIDI Out and MIDI In:

• If an external device is connected to the MIDI Out, your computer can send MIDI

messages out along this path: Computer  MPK225  External Device.

• If an external device is connected to the MIDI In, the external device sends MIDI

messages in along this path: External Device  MPK225  Computer. MIDI

messages can then be sent to an external device via the MIDI Out, but it must pass

through the computer first.

6. MIDI Out: Use a standard five-pin MIDI cable to connect this MIDI Out to the MIDI In of

an external MIDI device (e.g., a synthesizer, sequencer, drum machine, etc.).
