11.3 Typical MIDI Congurations
There are many congurations that can be set up with MIDI gear. Some are
complex and involve multiple devices while a simple set up can have two
devices communicating. Some typical examples are shown.

The settings in the cong menu will depend on:-
• How the devices are connected together? Are the devices
connected by USB? Which will transmit and receive MIDI with the
MIDI 5 Pin connection using the MIDI Jack adapter?
• Which device will be a primary leader (main controller e.g. main
clock) or a secondary follower (will respond to other gear as the lead
control e.g. synchronised to another clock)?
• Will MIDI note data (melodies, chords, etc) be communicated?
• Will MIDI CC continuous control change data be communicated (to
change parameters like delay level or trigger performance effects)?
