5.3 MIDI connection
The MIDI standard (Musical Instruments Digital Interface) was developed in the early 80s to enable electronic
musical instruments of different makes to communicate with each other. Over the years the range of MIDI
applications has constantly expanded, and today it is completely normal to network entire recording studios
using the MIDI standard.
At the heart of this network we find a computer loaded with a sequencer software that controls not only the
keyboards but also effects and other peripheral devices. In such a studio you could control your VINTAGER in
real time from a computer. In particular, when playing live gigs you can use a MIDI footcontroller to control both
the effect parameters and channel/effect changes on your VINTAGER.
The MIDI connector on the rear of your VINTAGER is an internationally standardized 5-pin DIN jack. To connect
your VINTAGER to other MIDI equipment, you need a dedicated MIDI cable, which is commercially available in
various lengths. However, you can solder your own cables using 2-conductor shielded cables (e.g. microphone
cables) and two rugged 180° DIN plugs: pin 2 (center) = shield; pins 4 and 5 (right and left of pin 2) = internal
conductor; pins 1 and 3 (the outer pins) are not used. MIDI cables should not exceed a length of 15 meters.
+ Make sure that pin 4 is connected to pin 4, and pin 5 to pin 5 on both plugs.
MIDI IN: receives MIDI controller information. The receiving channel can be set with the buttons UP and DOWN.
On = Omni, i.e. MIDI data are received and processed on all channels (see section 3.2).
