1 Quick Start Guide

If you can’t wait to get started

The Alesis Bitrman is a unique product, but its basic hookup and

operation is similar to other effects units in most respects. If

you're experienced with signal processors, this chapter is a

"shorthand" guide for those who want to start using the Bitrman

right away. If you have questions about any of the features, don’t

worry – later chapters will unveil the mysteries of the Bitrman's

special features.

Hook it up to a synthesizer

1. First, make sure the power is off to all the components

you’re connecting to: amp, mixer, and instruments.

2. Pull the Bitrman and its power supply out of the

package.

3. Using a pair of 1/4” instrument cables, plug the outputs

of the synthesizer into the INPUTS on the back of the

Bitrman.

4. Connect the OUTPUTS of the Bitrman to the inputs of

a mixer, powered speakers, or instrument amplifier.

5. Insert the power jack of the Bitrman’s power adapter

into the POWER 9VAC input on the rear panel of the

Bitrman and plug the power adapter into an AC outlet

(preferably on a power strip with its switch off).

The Bitrman doesn’t have a POWER switch of its own. The

moment you plug in the power, its top panel LEDs will come on.

6. Turn the power on to the system: the keyboard, then

the Bitrman’s power strip (if it’s not already on), then

the mixer, then the amp.

7. Turn the INPUT TRIM knob on the back of the

Bitrman while playing the keyboard to adjust the input

level. The SIGNAL LED on the top panel will light

green, not red, when the level is correct.

8. Experiment with the knob and button settings on the

Bitrman to create different sounds.
