MIDI
With the MIDI functions you can expand your musical possibilities.
This section will let you know what MIDI is, and what it can do, as
well as how you can use MIDI on your instrument.
What's MIDI?
1. MIDI (short for Musical Instrument Digital Interface) allows a wide
variety of electronic musical instruments, computers and other
related devices to connect and communicate with one another.
MIDI carries event messages that specify notation, pitch and
velocity, control signals for parameters such as volume, vibrato,
audio panning, and program change information to change the
voice selections.
2. The instrument can output the real-time playback information via
MIDI and control external MIDI devices. The instrument can also
accept incoming MIDI messages and generate sound accordingly.
Note:
This instrument has a USB(DEVICE) terminal, which can be
connected to a PC as an MIDI input or MIDI output. This can not be
connected with another instrument, unless other USB host device
with an USB terminal.
The main application of midi
1. Used as a tone generator
This instrument can receive MIDI data from computer, and
execute MIDI controls to change channels, change voices, add
effect and make sound and so on. Refer to MIDI Implementation
Chart for more MIDI controls.
2. Used as a MIDI Keyboard
This instrument will send MIDI data to your computer and these
MIDI data are record, when you play keys, change voice and turn
DSP on/off. If you play keys with accompaniment, the computer
can only record your performance only. You can also edit all
records, such as change channels, change voices and add DSP
effects and so on, on your computer. And then you can play back
them by other sound source (for example the sound card of
computer). It is available to play with the instrument while playing
back records. Refer to MIDI Implementation Chart for more MIDI
controls.
3. Select a MIDI Device
For normally using the USB terminal, you need to do some
settings in application software; we introduce the Cakewalk Pro
Audio MIDI software under WINDOWS XP operating system as
an example.
Open the Cakewalk Pro Audio MIDI software; you will see the
dialog box below.
Press the left button of dialog box to continue:
Select MIDI Input terminal on the left of dialog box, and MIDI Output
terminal on the right, the USB AUDIO DEVICE can be used as MIDI
USB input and output terminals, select it and press “OK” button to
enter software, you can use MIDI USB terminal now. You can also
select MIDI device from TOOLS MIDI DEVICES menu of
Cakewalk, the way of choosing MIDI device from other related MIDI
software is similar.
