Connect a standard 9V DC power adapter (center negative) to the DC 9V input port (1) on the right side of the FC-ONE. Ensure the power supply meets the specified voltage and polarity requirements to prevent damage to the device.

3.2 MIDI and USB Connections

The FC-ONE offers multiple connectivity options:

  • MIDI OUT (2): Use the included MIDI DIN adapter cable to connect the 3.5mm MIDI OUT jack to the MIDI IN port of your MIDI-compatible device (e.g., synthesizer, effects processor).
  • УСБ порт (3): This port functions as both a USB Device and a USB Host.
    • USB Device Mode: Connect the FC-ONE to a computer (PC) using a USB cable. This allows the computer to recognize the FC-ONE as a MIDI controller and enables configuration via the software.
    • USB Host Mode: Connect a USB MIDI device (e.g., a small MIDI keyboard or controller) to the FC-ONE's USB port. The FC-ONE will then act as a host, allowing the connected device to send MIDI data through the FC-ONE's MIDI OUT or to another USB device connected to the FC-ONE.
