TC Electronic TC 2290 User Manual

6.3 THE MIDI IN- AND OUTPUTS SECTION
MIDI
INPUT THRU
Use these sockets to connect the
TC 2290 to your MliDl-equipped
instruments or to a computer-
controlled MIDi-setup. Both MIDI IN,
MIDI THRU and MIDI OUTPUT are
supported for maximum flexibility.
The MIDI way of control is a ‘one
way communication’. The signals
goes from outputs to inputs only.
Fig.6.3 The Midi In- and Outputs Section
(01) MIDI OUTPUT
Using the MIDI output for preset shift changes, the TC 2290 can function
as a ‘master’ in a MIDI set-up controlling other MIDI controllable effects
and/or instrument preset shift changes. A keyboard player can connect the
TC 2290 MIDI output to the MIDI input of his keyboard and vice versa to
enable a preset shift possibility from either of the MIDI units.
When the TC 2290 is connected to another TC 2290, you can set
parameters on more TC 2290's completely syncronously.
Alteration

on
the

will
appear
at
the

as
System
Exclusive
Data,
which
can
be
used
to
control
another
TC
2290.
These

can
also
used
when
the
TC
2290
is
connected
to
a computer
or
a
sequencer
capable
of recording
MIDI
exclusive
data.
The MIDI output does not retransmit the MIDI input signals of the TC 2290.
(02) MIDI THRU
Supplies an exact replica of the MIDI data coming in from the MIDI INPUT.
Using the MIDI THRU socket you can link more MIDI instruments. In order to
avoid data delays, however, avoid linking too many instruments via the
THRU sockets. Instead you should get a MIDI THRU box, which will split a
single MIDI signal into several identical signals without delay.
The MIDI THRU output is not affected by the MIDI enable frontpanel
parameter, but retransmits all MIDI INPUT incoming data.
(03) MIDI INPUT
From this input the TC 2290 recieves data from other instruments,
sequencers etc. This is the socket to use when you want the TC 2290 to
change
presets
by
means
of
MIDI
preset
changes
from
e.g.
a
keyboard.
All the parameters of the TC 2290 can be controlled by MIDI System
Exclusive Commands.
In this way computer programs that controls the TC 2290, display all values
and give graphic representations of parameters are possible.
Also other parameters can be controlled through non exclusive MIDI codes.
The
sampling
options
features
a
number
of
MIDI
controllable
parameters.
