*Note - Be sure to always power off or mute your speakers or monitoring setup before connecting and
disconnecting the USB cable between TonePort and your computer, as well as before booting up or shutting
down your computer if TonePort is already connected. The best practice is to always power on your
speakers last, and power them off first when connected to other audio gear to avoid a “pop”.
Line Inputs - If you want to record the signal from a line level source, such as a keyboard, your stereo
receiver, the line out from a mixing console, etc., connect them to these Left and Right ins using 1/4-
inch TS audio cables.
Footswitches - If you want to use one or two on/off toggle or momentary footswitches to remotely
control functions in the GearBox software, you can plug the 1/4-inch footswitch plugs into these 1
and 2 jacks. To configure each Footswitch, go to the GearBox Preferences. For TonePort UX1, UX2,
and KB37, you can also use these footswitches to trigger recording and playback commands within the
included Ableton Live
®
Lite software!
USB - This, of course, is where you connect the supplied USB cable to TonePort, with the other
end going to your computer’s USB port. Note that you should always connect to a separate USB
controller channel from other USB audio or MIDI interfaces to provide TonePort with the full USB
bandwidth. TonePort also gets its power from this USB connection, so it should not be plugged into a
non-powered USB hub, or operated on the same USB controller channel with un-powered devices. It
is also recommended to connect directly into a USB port on your computer and not into a USB hub.
S/PDIF Digital Out - To send the output of TonePort to an external device digitally, connect a 75-
Ohm coaxial cable into this RCA jack and then into the S/PDIF digital input on the external device.
This is the best choice for connecting to digital recording devices, such as a DAT recorder. This S/
PDIF output sends the same audio as is sent to TonePort’s Analog Outs* (with the exception that any
audio coming into the TonePort’s Monitor In jack is not routed to the S/PDIF output). The digital
signal is always sent at 24-bit resolution.
