*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. You can
also use these footswitches to trigger recording and playback commands within the included
Ableton Live Lite 5 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.
