MIDEX-8
English – 30
The Buttons
Cablecheck/Panic
Which of the two functions assigned to this button is performed de-
pends on how long you press the button.
If this button is pressed for less than 2 to 3 seconds, a MIDI cable test is
executed. Please proceed as follows:
1. Use the cable to be tested to connect MIDI output 8 and MIDI input 8 on
the front panel of your MIDEX-8.
2. Press the “Panic/Cablecheck” button for less than 2 seconds.
3. If your MIDI cable is okay, all eight input LEDs will light up for a few sec-
onds. If the cable is defective, all eight output LEDs will light up for a brief
moment.
If this button is pressed for more than 2 to 3 seconds, all connected
MIDI devices are reset. This is e.g. helpful if hanging notes have oc-
curred. Please proceed as follows:
• Press the “Panic/Cablecheck” button for more than 2 to 3 seconds.
The MIDEX-8 now sends out a series of “All Notes Off” and “Controller Reset”
messages via all MIDI outputs. This lets the output LEDs light up momentarily.
❐
The “Panic” and “Cablecheck” functions are only supported if the MIDEX-8
is connected to a computer via a USB cable and if the operating system
and the drivers have already been booted.
MIDI Thru Mode
The MIDEX-8 has a built-in MIDI Thru mode. It lets you access the sound
modules connected to the MIDEX-8 from a Master keyboard, even
when no software program is active.
This mode can also be used if the MIDEX-8 is not connected to the com-
puter via the USB cable. However, you need an additional standard
power supply (not included) to supply the MIDEX-8 with the necessary
power.
