Connect a wired MIDI controller to the MIDI IN port (⅛" TRS) on the rear panel of Spark PEDAL. Use the included 3.5mm-to-DIN adapter if your controller uses a standard 5-pin DIN connector.

MIDI Thru: When Spark PEDAL is connected to the Spark app, you can enable MIDI Thru so that any MIDI commands received on the MIDI IN port are also forwarded to the MIDI OUT port. Useful when chaining Spark PEDAL with other MIDI gear.
