The MIDI OUT connection functions as a thru as well.
The MIDI IN is self-explanatory. The OVERFLOW switch
sets the MIDI overflow parameters for chaining
multiple Boomstar synths together. To do this, activate
the first unit’s OVERFLOW switch, and the last unit in the
“chain” OVERFLOW switch disengaged. Note: For proper
usage of a single Boomstar, make certain the OVERFLOW switch is deactivated, or the note buffer will be reduced to 0,
and note dropouts will occur with legato playing; however, OVERFLOW function can be useful when the Boomstar is
used in conjunction with a hardware step sequencer, which may or may not send the appropriate note-off
commands. The MIDI LEARN switch sets the MIDI channel: play on the channel desired, press the LEARN switch
momentarily, release, and the Boomstar “learns” the channel. Note: Boomstar OS software prior to Version 2 does
not remember the channel after powering down. Upon powering up those Boomstars, the channel received defaults
to MIDI channel one. All Boomstars with serial numbers 100,343 are equipped with Verson 2 OS.
