Controlling Another MIDI Device via MIDI THRU
With the above MIDI connections, you can send MIDI data from the MIDI OUT connector while
MIDI data from the external sequencer can be sent to an external MIDI synthesizer via the MIDI
THRU jack.
The MIDI cable should be no greater than 15 meters in length, and there should be no more than three devices in
a MIDI chain (chained in series via each unit’s MIDI THRU). To connect more units, use a MIDI Thru Box for
parallel connections. You may encounter errors if the MIDI cables are too long or if too many devices are chained
together via their MIDI THRU connectors.
Connecting to a Personal Computer
When a computer is connected, it can be used to control the synthesizer and to transfer synthesizer
data to/from computer via MIDI. With the included Voice Editor program, for instance, you can edit
the synthesizer’s Voices. Using another program – Card Filer – you can transfer files between the
computer and the Memory Card inserted in the synthesizer’s CARD slot.
There are two ways to connect your synthesizer to a computer:
1: Serial connection (the computer’s serial port to the synthesizer’s TO HOST terminal)
2: MIDI connection (the computer’s MIDI interface or external MIDI interface to the
synthesizer’s MIDI IN and OUT)
Different computers require different connections, as follows.
1: Serial Port to TO HOST
IBM PC/AT
Macintosh
