3.3 SETTING UP AND STARTING TONVERK
Place Tonverk on a stable support, such as a sturdy table, with sufficient space for the cables. Make sure to
switch off all devices before you connect Tonverk to other devices.
1.	 Plug the supplied DC adapter into a power outlet, then connect the adapter’s USB cable to one of
Tonverk’s USB ports.
2.	 Connect OUT A/B from Tonverk to your mixer, amplifier, or use headphones plugged into the HEAD­
PHONES jack.
3.	 To control Tonverk from a computer, connect a USB cable between the computer and one of Tonverk’s
USB ports.
4.	 To use MIDI to control Tonverk, connect the MIDI OUT port of the device you wish to send data from to
the MIDI IN port of Tonverk. If you want to use Tonverk to control other devices, connect the MIDI OUT
port of Tonverk to the MIDI IN port of the device you want to control.
5.	 Connect an audio source to IN A/B or via USB to process audio from external sources.
6.	 Switch on all units. Press the POWER switch located at the back of Tonverk to switch it on.
