MidiVerb 4 Reference Manual 25
MIDI
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is an internationally-accepted protocol
that allows musical-related data to be conveyed from one device to another. The
MIDI connections on the MidiVerb 4 provide four different functions:
• To recall Programs using MIDI program change messages
• To control (modulate) parameters inside the MidiVerb 4 in realtime via MIDI
controllers (example: A keyboard’s mod wheel, or pedals, etc.)
• To send and receive Sysex (System Exclusive) dumps of individual programs or
the entire bank of programs for storage and retrieval purposes
• To pass-on MIDI information thru the MidiVerb 4 to another MIDI device.
To connect the MidiVerb 4’s MIDI ports to another MIDI device:
➀ Connect a MIDI cable from the MidiVerb 4’s MIDI [IN] connector to the other
MIDI device’s MIDI OUT connector.
➁ Connect another MIDI cable from the MidiVerb 4’s MIDI [OUT/THRU] connector
to the MIDI IN connector of the other MIDI device.
Note: It is not necessary to follow step 2 if you intend to only send information to the
MidiVerb 4, and do not need to receive information back from it. Example: If you only
want to be able to recall Programs using MIDI program change messages, there is no
need to connect a cable to the MidiVerb 4’s [OUT/THRU] connector.
For more information about MIDI and Modulation, refer to chapter 6.
