MIDI
ProFire 2626 provides 16 channels of MIDI I/O over standard 5-pin DIN connectors found on the breakout cable
These I/O ports can be used to connect MIDI-compatible devices to your computer such as controller keyboards, drum
machines, or sound modules Alternatively, these ports can be used to send and receive MIDI Time Code (MTC) and
other synchronization formats for locking to a hardware or software sequencer
MIDI is an extensive protocol and covering it in detail is beyond the scope of this guide If you would like to learn more,
please refer to one of the many books and articles that have been written about this subject and are available online or
through your local music retailer
