Example 5: SIRIUS as Expander + Synthesizer (Keyboard) + Computer
This example corresponds more or less to the previous examples. The only difference is that now the
Sirius is taking on the part of an expander. Should your master-keyboard be a synthesizer you will
only pay attention to the fact that the MIDI-receive channels of the Sirius do not conflict with those
of the synthesizer. The MIDI receive channels of the Sirius can be set in Edit-System menu page 3.
With this configuration you will unfortunately have to sacrifice some of the advantages of the Sirius.
It is, for example, not possible to record the dial or wheel movements of the Sirius because the
MIDI-OUT of the Sirius is not connected with the MIDI-IN of the computer. It is the same for the
data storage using MIDI-Data-Dump. If you absolutely depend on this connection-setup you will
have no choice but to change the connections before a data-Dump can be performed. In our exam-
ple you would have to connect the MIDI-IN of the computer with the MIDI-OUT of the Sirius. (In a
lot of cases it is not advisable to change midi connections while the equipment is still powered up.)
This configuration is also open to expansion. If you want to connect a further Midi-device in addi-
tion to the Sirius connect the MIDI-THRU of the Sirius to the MIDI-IN of the extra Midi-device.

The Sirius can also be used as an expander in an already existing MIDI Setup.
