Overview
The Response MIDI Gateway supports sending and receiving MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface)
control signals. MIDI enables various types of equipment to communicate, control and synchronize with
each other through the transmission of digital data. For MIDI output the signal is generated by the
controlling device and transmitted to the MIDI Gateway over USB or an Ethernet network to be output
locally at the gateway. The gateway itself does not generate MIDI messages.
MIDI Connections
The following connections are available:
• MIDI In - allows communication from a MIDI device to a Net3 controller, ACN controller or USB MIDI
receiver through the gateway. The input accepts MIDI notes, MIDI Show Control packets and MIDI
Time Code.
• MIDI Thru - allows communication between multiple MIDI devices by passing the input through the
gateway and back out to another MIDI device.
• MIDI Out - allows communication with a MIDI device from a Net3, ACN or USB control source through
the gateway. Outputs MIDI notes, MIDI Show Control packets and/or MIDI Time Code.
The pinouts for the MIDI connections are as follows:
LED Indicators
• Power - solid blue indicates that power is supplied
• Ethernet - solid green indicates network connection and blinking indicates network activity
• USB - solid green indicates USB connection and solid red indicates connection without having fully
detected, identified and loaded device drivers
