The midiBeam system consists of two boxes, TX02 and RX02. Attached to the instrument is the TX02 transmitter, powered by two AAA batteries. It is a small plastic box, with an LED and one pushbutton on the top for “PAIRING”. The MIDI plug is hanging on one end of a short cable. The TX02 can be attached to the instrument by Velcro tape.
The RX02 receiver is powered through the mini USB socket either from a computer or from a USB power supply. It has an LED and a “PAIRING” pushbutton as well. The MIDI output is provided either through USB or the DIN MIDI Output socket. There is a DIN MIDI Input socket as well; if the device has no radio connection then it functions as a standard MIDI Interface to a computer. No special driver installation is necessary.
