The MIDI Box One converts standard 5-pin (DIN) MIDI communications to a variety of 1/4″ formats.

Featuring a single MIDI output, the MIDI Box One can output MIDI on either the tip or ring of its 1/4″ jack, or send MIDI on both at the same time.

Configuration is easy, using the DIP switches on the underside of the MIDI Box One.

Tip Active:. Suits Alexander, Meris, Empress, Bondi, and other devices using voltage mode on the jack tip
Ring Active:  Suits Chase Bliss Audio and other devices using voltage mode on the jack ring
Tip and Ring Active:  Provides separate outputs on tip and ring of the control port, enabling two MIDI outputs using our .  If you’re planning to connect two Chase Bliss Audio devices, be sure to select the RP2 dual reverse polarity cable!

Power:  Requires 9-12v DC input, 50mA maximum.

Status LED:  Lights blue when powered, blinks red when MIDI data is received.  Constant high-speed MIDI data such as MIDI Clock may cause the LED to remain violet.

MIDI THRU:. The MIDI Box One does not have any MIDI Thru capability, and must be placed at the end of your MIDI chain.

Dimensions: 1.99 in x 1.99 in x 1.06 in (51 mm x 51 mm x 27 mm) not including jack nut.

Jackson Audio, Swindler Effects, Cooper FX, Boss 200-series:  The MIDI Box One is not compatible with these devices.  Please use the MIDI Box Four or the MJ-5P cable to interface these devices with standard MIDI gear.  Disaster Area DMC controllers can interface with these devices directly using the MultiJack port.

Please note that device support also requires a compatible MIDI controller.  The MIDIBox is a data converter only, and won’t magically make your controller work with these devices.  If you’re not sure about controller support, contact your controller manufacturer!
