System Settings (EDIT Mode)

The A-PRO provides a [MIDI MERGE] switch (p. 11). Here’s how to specify the port that will be merged as the MIDI MERGE DESTINATION when the [MIDI MERGE] switch is On.

The MIDI MERGE function is convenient when an external MIDI controller other than the A-PRO is connected to the A-PRO’s MIDI IN connector.

For example, you might connect a second A-PRO unit, and use one A-PRO to play a software synthesizer while using the other A-PRO unit to control your DAW software.

1 Simultaneously press the [ACT] button and the [ ] button.

2 Use the [VALUE] knob to select “MIDI SETTING,” and press the

[ENTER] button.

3 Use the [VALUE] knob to select “MIDI MERGE DEST,” and press the

[ENTER] button.

4 Use the [VALUE] knob to specify the desired MIDI merge

destination.

The display will indicate the value you selected.

5 Press the [ENTER] button to return to Play mode.

In this illustration, the [MIDI MERGE] switch is On and the MIDI MERGE DESTINATION is set to Port 2, so that messages received at MIDI IN are merged with the messages of Port 2 and sent to

the computer.

* If you turn the [MIDI MERGE] switch On, no messages will arrive even if you’ve selected A-PRO MIDI IN as the MIDI IN device on your computer.
