MIDI In
Connect the A‑16R MIDI In jack to the MIDI output of a device in your MIDI
system. The MIDI In jack is used to receive data from an external device. Data
received at the MIDI In jack will be echoed to the MIDI Thru jack automatically.
This allows multiple A‑16Rs or other MIDI devices to be connected in serially
(a daisy chain).
MIDI Out
The MIDI Out jack carries MIDI information and commands generated by the
A‑16R. Connect the A‑16R MIDI Out jack to the MIDI In jack on a compatible
MIDI recording or storage device.
MIDI Thru
The Thru jack is used when daisy‑chaining MIDI devices. Any MIDI information
received at the MIDI In jack is passed on to the MIDI Thru jack without
alteration. An unlimited number of devices can be connected in this manner
without the need for a MIDI Interface or computer.
P N
ote
: Check that the MIDI cables between your A‑16R and MIDI recording
devices are properly connected and configured before attempting
data transfers.
A-16R MIDI Base Channel
This feature allows the user to assign a MIDI channel to an A‑16R, and to
check the value of the MIDI base channel that is currently assigned. Sixteen
MIDI channels are used; the A‑16R can be set to any of the sixteen available
channels. The sixteen MIDI channels correspond to the A‑16R’s channels and
buttons, numbered 1 through 16.
MIDI automation allows devices to be controlled from a computer running
MIDI sequencing software or from other types of MIDI controllers. To
support the use of MIDI automation, it is necessary for the A‑16R to respond
to channel‑specific MIDI messages.
Display the MIDI Base Channel
The display and assignment of a MIDI Channel is accomplished by using the
