The diagram above illustrates how the A-Station is connected in
a typical MIDI recording setup. It utilises all the Input and Output
features. This setup allows real-time recording of knob move-
ments into a Computer Software/Sequencer since both the MIDI
output of the keyboard and the MIDI output of the A-Station are
connected to the Computer Software/Sequencer.
The Computer Software/Sequencer MUST have at least 2 MIDI
inputs to allow knob movements to be recorded at the same
time as playing the keyboard. If it does not, then a MIDI merge
box must be used to merge the MIDI information from the key-
board and the A-Station into a single stream (Consult the manu-
facturers user guide for the MIDI merge box for correct connec-
tion). If the Master Keyboard is a Workstation (it has a
Synthesizer built in) set it to Local Off or the equivalent in its
MIDI setup. Turn the Computer Software/Sequencers Soft Thru
(or sometimes called Echo Back) to the On or Enabled position.
Select a track in the Computer Software/Sequencer and assign
it to the MIDI receive channel of the A-Station.
Play the keyboard and an audio output from the A-Station
should be heard through the Headphones/Monitors. Tracks on
the Computer Software/Sequencer that are assigned to the MIDI
channel(s) of the workstation should also trigger sounds in the
workstation.
