Connecting MIDI
In addition to being a performance-suited musical instrument, the Artis SE is a powerful, but
easy to use MIDI controller. For descriptions of how to customize the Artis SE as a MIDI
controller, and how to use its MIDI controller capabilities to their fullest potential, see Multi
Mode on page 7-1.
Basic MIDI Hookup
To use the Artis SE as a MIDI controller for another sound module, use a MIDI cable to
connect the MIDI port marked “Out” to the MIDI input port of the module that you want
to control.
To control the Artis SE using another MIDI controller, use a MIDI cable to connect the
MIDI port marked “In” to the MIDI output port of the controller that you will be using.
Connecting More Sound Modules
In order to connect multiple sound modules to be controlled by a single MIDI controller,
the Artis SE must either be :
(1) Used as the controller.
(2) Or the last module in the MIDI daisy chain.
e reason is because the Artis SE does not include a ru MIDI port; however, this simply
means that the Artis SE must be at the start or at the end of the MIDI daisy chain.
Using the Artis SE as the controller, connect the MIDI Out port to the MIDI In port of
the rst module, and then connect that module’s MIDI ru port to the input of the next
module, and so on, until the last module is connected.
e MIDI chain should end in the MIDI In port of the last module.
