Hi, Jesper, and thanks a bunch...

I am afraid I still don't understand, though.  Is it meant to be an audio signal - as in from a microphone or synth - whose voltage is converted to a signal which triggers a midi channel in the SDE? And even so, if this is the case, there must be some internal setting that I am overlooking to get this to function.  Maybe it would help if I look at the TMI manual. Is a copy of it here on the forum?
Thanks so much, 
Chris
