Elektron TM-1 - Manual (Page 2)

THE EVOLUTION OF MIDI!
MIDI is still, over 20 years since its introduction, the predominant interface for interconnecting
musical devices. Well specified from the beginning, MIDI has proven to stand the test of time.
The TurboCharged protocol follows the full MIDI specification, but extends the protocol with
dedicated sysex messages to dynamically negotiate speeds of up to 20x the original MIDI
standard. The improved speed decreases data transfer times and improves musical tightness.
TM-1—THE TURBOCHARGED MIDI INTERFACE
The TM-1 was mainly developed to improve transfer times of sysex and sample data between
computers and Elektron gear up to 10 times. Naturally it also functions as a standard MIDI
interface for your sequencer with all MIDI compliant gear.
Thank you for choosing the TM-1 MIDI interface. The TM-1 allows MIDI transmissions up to 10x the original speed using compatible gear.
It is specifically designed to be used together with Elektron gear, but also works perfectly with standard MIDI equipment. To make the
most of the special features of the TM-1, please take your time to read through this user’s guide, and check the support page of the
Elektron Website.
