MIDI IN-OUT
MIDI – stands for musical instrument digital interface. Basically this means you can hook up 2 MIDI compatible devices and they
will talk to each other. In this case you might connect 2 CDN90s or an AXIS 8 with CDN90 and have them synchronize
beats, add a MIDI keyboard and have it control the CD players or hook up a drum machine and play a rhythm pattern in
time with the music.
GLOBAL MIDI CLOCK TRANSMIT: when the MIDI output of the CDN90 is attached to another clock receiving device, such as a
drum machine, the device will receive global clock information from the Master side of the CDN90. Play and Pause
commands will be sent as well.
INCREASE/DECREASE: When the slave becomes the master or is released from interlock and still playing, the pitch playing will
often be different than the original position of the pitch slider. The pitch slider will not function until it is brought to the new
position. Move the pitch slider in the direction shown in the display. For example if the display says “INCREASE 4.5%”
move the slider in the positive direction 4.5% (increase). If it says “DECREASE -3%” then move the slider in the negative
direction 3% (decrease). As you get closer to the correct position the indication will reduce until you are at the pitch
currently playing. After this has been achieved all pitch functions will return to the player and pitch can be adjusted as
normally. If the unit is stopped for any reason the pitch will automatically reset to the current position of the slider. Note:
Interlock may automatically deactivate when effects are engaged that can not be beat aligned such as live
scratch.
*Note: Other MIDI features will be available on future upgrades of this product.
