Thank you for purchasing the MIDI Solutions Router.
The MIDI Solutions Router has the capability of routing selected MIDI messages to either of its two MIDI outputs.
Routed messages can be rechannelized, and it is also possible to filter MIDI messages by routing them to neither
output. The MIDI Solutions Router is MIDI-powered and requires no batteries or power supply to operate.
INTRODUCTION
To program the Router connect the MIDI Out from your MIDI interface to the MIDI
of the Router. MIDI
and
can be left disconnected during programming.
Once the Router is programmed, it can be inserted wherever it is required in your MIDI setup. Connect the MIDI Out
or Thru of the sending device to the MIDI
of the Router, MIDI
of the Router to the MIDI In of the first receiving
MIDI device, and MIDI
of the Router to the MIDI In of the second receiving MIDI device. It is recommended that
the number of MIDI Solutions products powered by a single MIDI Out or Thru be limited to four.
The Router is programmed by sending it MIDI System Exclusive programming commands from a computer with a
MIDI interface.
Upon receipt of a programming command, the Router's MIDI indicator LED flashes rapidly for about one second to
indicate that the setting has been stored. Settings are retained after power is removed, and the unit can then be
inserted wherever it is required in your MIDI setup.
