The SFC-8 has 2 traditional DIN MIDI connectors available, a MIDI input and a MIDI output.
To start using the SFC-8 with DIN MIDI:
- Power the controller with USB to either a USB host, such as a computer, or a USB power block, such as a smartphone charger
- Connect the SFC-8 DIN-MIDI output to the MIDI input of other gear you would like to control.
- Optional: Connect any MIDI keyboard or sequencer to the SFC-8 DIN-MIDI input. The incoming messages will be forwarded to both the USB-MIDI output and DIN-MIDI output, along with all the sliders, pots and switches messages of the SFC-8 front panel. This eliminates the needs for any MIDI merger or other accessories. This also means that you could also use the SFC-8 as a MIDI to USB-MIDI interface if you don’t own one.
