Product Description
If you are installing the Hexpander without the Acousti-phonic, you may want to add this optional pin-7 wiring harness so that your guitar's mag and/or piezo signal goes down the 13-pin MIDI cable and out the back of the converter. That way, you don't need a 1/4" cable plugged into the guitar.
Most MIDI converters have two 1/4" outputs on the back -- one for MIDI, and one for this pin-7 signal.
The Pin-7 Output Harness is required if you're installing the Hexpander without the Acousti-Phonic, and are adding the Quickswitch. It enables the QuickSwitch to control the magnetick pickup output on your synth module. Otherwise, the Hexpander and the mags exist as two separate systems. The Pin-7 Output Harness links the two pickup systems in the absence of the Acousti-Phonic.
The 1/4" output jack on your guitar will remain unchanged, and you can use it with a 1/4" patch cord if you just want to play your magnectic pickups through a guitar amp.
