XR18 User Guide – MIDI Functionality
There are two ways of using MIDI in conjunction with XR18
a.) Use MIDI to exclusively affect / remote-control actual XR18 digital-mixer
o Via front-panel DIN Ports (-> connect external MIDI devices such as fader-controls)
o Via USB connection (-> stream of MIDI data from/to computer)
b.) MIDI commands completely bypass actual XR18 mixer
o Usage as MIDI-to-USB interface in studio & live situations
a.) MIDI to affect / remote-control actual XR18 digital-mixer
