Chapter 1 SU700 Components, Connections, and Startup
MIDI Connections
●
If you are going to use an external MIDI device to synchronize SU700 playback or
to control track play, run a MIDI cable from the MIDI OUT connector of the con-
trolling device (or the MIDI THRU connector on an intermediate device) to the
MIDI IN connector on the SU700.
●
If you plan to use the SU700 to control playback from an external tone generator,
external sequencer, or other such device, run a MIDI cable from the SU700’s MIDI
OUT connector to the MIDI IN connector on the target device.
●
Note that you must use the SYSTEM | MIDI jobs to set up the SU700’s MIDI opera-
tion (
→
p.303). You can also use the SONG | MTC OFFSET job to set an offset for
an externally supplied MTC synchronization signal.
MIDI Use on the SU700
The SU700 supports the following MIDI operations.
• Sends and received note-on and note-off messages, control-change mes-
sages, and system realtime messages (Timing Clock, Start, Continue, and
Stop).
• Can synchronize with externally supplied MIDI time code (MTC).
• You can set transmit channel independently on each of the 40 sample
tracks. You can set receive channel on up to 16 sample tracks (where
each track must receive on a different channel).
For full details about the SU700’s MIDI implementation, refer to page 345.
Connecting an External SCSI Drive
If you have installed the SCSI expansion board (ASIB1 board), you can connect a
SCSI drive to the SU700. Simply run a SCSI cable from the SCSI connector on the
external device to the SCSI connector on the SU700’s rear panel.
Note the following points.
●
Although you are free to connect together multiple SCSI devices (in a SCSI chain
configuration), the SU700 can recognize only one external SCSI device at a
given time.
●
You use the SYSTEM | SCSI job (
→
p.307) to select the SCSI ID of the external de-
vice you wish to recognize. (Note that you must also set a matching ID setting at
the external device side, as well.)
