Connecting Everything

You now have your MAINFRAME starter kit or already have all the necessary cables and such. Let’s get everything connected!

Now the order of connection doesn’t matter much, but there is a cool startup animation so let’s get the power and LEDs connected first.

• Power the controller with external power supply. You should see the little green light turn on.
• Connect the LED strip to MAINFRAME through the extension cable.
• Connect the USB Cable. Something to keep in mind is that MAINFRAME-B grabs power because of the onboard LEDs. If you’re using multiple or have other things connected to the same hub, try to use a powered hub.
• If you have MAINFRAME-B+, connect the 3.5mm TRS to 5pin MIDI Dongle between your MIDI input cable and the 3.5mm jack on the MAINFRAME controller.

And that’s it! Pretty simple.
