USB MIDI OUT
When you can activate the USB MIDI OUT
mode from the UTILITY page, if the keyboard
is connected to the USB port of a computer, it
will be recognized as USB SPEAKERS driver
for the MIDI data transmission from and to the
computer.
When the keyboard is connected via USB to
a computer, the green LED of the USB (EXIT)
button will light.
The keyboard can be used as external
•
control unit and as sound module for MIDI
applications, such as Cubase, Sonar, Reaper
and so on, for example.
Once the MIDI application is open you can
•
select the MIDI In port and the MIDI Out port,
recognized as USB SPEAKERS.
In
•
Figure 225 the arrow indicates the MIDI IN
and MIDI OUT ports in a Cubase track.
Once the MIDI communication via USB is
•
open, you will be able to record MIDI tracks.
The material that you record via MIDI into a
•
track of the sequencer can be output directly
by using the Audya sound module.
For the correct playback of the parts and the
instruments, please use the same MIDI channels
for the transmission and the reception.
For example:
Right: MIDI channel 1, both TX and RX
Left: MIDI channel 2, both TX and RX
Bass: MIDI channel 3, both TX and RX
Chord1: MIDI channel 5, both TX and RX
Drum1: MIDI channel 10, both TX and RX
... and so on.

Please disable the soft MIDI THRU function from the
sequencer application in order to avoid dangerous MIDI
loops.
