About the KN550/KN650 IVIDI exclusive
Outline of KN550/KN650 MIDI exclusive
The KN550/KN650 MID! exclusive is used for
handling two types of communication: data dump-
ing of SEQUENCER, COMPOSER (KN650), etc.
performance data and transmission/reception of
rhythm tempo data.
It is not possible for previous models (such as
KN1000) to receive data through the KN550/
KN650 MIDI exclusive data dump.
One-way transmission and handshake transmission
In one-way transmission, communication takes
place in one direction only, that is from the master
unit to the slave unit.
In handshake transmission, the transmission
status between the master unit and slave unit is
being confirmed during data transmission. For
this reason, a MIDI cable connection from the
slave unit to the master unit is also necessary. In
comparison to one-way transmission, handshake
transmission is faster.
MIDI OUT = MIDI IN
In the KN550/KN650, the transmission mode is
switched automatically between handshake
transmission and one-way transmission. Com-
munication begins with handshake transmission,
and if there is no response from the slave unit
within a given time, communication switches
automatically to one-way transmission.
MIDI IN = MIDI OUT
