Description
The micro.ghost does one thing: interfaces your USB-MIDI devices with your 5-pin (DIN) MIDI chain.Plug your USB MIDI device into the USB HOST port, apply standard pedalboard 9V power, and wait for the light to turn green. Your USB MIDI device is now connected to your 5-pin (DIN) MIDI controller or other device.
Use the DIP switches on the back of the micro.ghost to assign your USB MIDI device to any MIDI channel you want, even if your device doesn’t support channel assignment.
