Requirements
The included Xboard Control software provides an intuitive desktop interface that 
makes it easy to create custom templates for all your favorite hardware and 
software instruments.
On a PC:
You must be running Windows 2000, XP, or XP x64 Edition, and your computer 
must support USB to communicate with the Xboard. The Xboard can operate in 
MIDI Output mode without a computer if power is supplied via a 6VDC adapter 
or batteries.
On a Mac:
You must be running Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later to connect the Xboard. The Xboard 
can operate in MIDI Output mode without a computer if power is supplied via a 
6VDC adapter or batteries.
Hardware Installation
The connection diagrams on the following pages show how to connect the Xboard 
to your computer or to another MIDI device.
The supplied USB cable provides power and a two-way data link between the 
Xboard and your computer. The USB port on your computer is a small (1/8” x 3/
8”) rectangular opening. The connector is keyed so you cannot plug it in wrong. 
The other end of the USB cable is square and plugs into the back of the Xboard. 
This end is also keyed to prevent incorrect insertion.
Important: Windows 2000 users must install the software BEFORE the hardware is 
connected for the first time.
If the Xboard is not connected to the computer via USB it requires a source of 
power in the form of a 6VDC adapter (tip positive) or (3) AA batteries.
