The MIDI sockets

_________________________________________________________________

MIDI IN

- connect this to the MIDI out of your MIDI synth or MIDI sequencer using standard MIDI cables.

MIDI THRU

- This provides a copy of the information coming into the MIDI IN socket so that you can "daisy-chain"
several MIDI devices. Should be connected only to a MIDI IN socket (or not used).

OPTIONAL WASP PORT IF FITTED TO PRO-2

_________________________________________________________________

The Wasp port if fitted to the PRO-2 MIDI to CV converter works on its own MIDI channel
independently of the two existing channels A & B, making the PRO-2 into effectively a three channel
converter.

To use the Wasp port, use the connecting cable supplied. This has an 8 pin din plug on one end & a 7
pin plug on the other end. Plug the 8 pin din plug into the PRO-2 and the 7 pin din plug into the
Wasp.

As default, the Wasp will respond to MIDI channel 3, this can be changed and stored just like all the
other parameters on the PRO-2.

Use the SELECT OPTION button to step the bargraph display through until you reach 'continue = start'
(position 16) - the message 'On' or 'OF' will appear in the window, now step to the next position - this
has no text beside it but it is the MIDI channel for the Wasp, the display will probably say 3. If you now
step to the next position, this selects LO, HI or NEW notes take precedence. These are the only 2 set-
ups available for the Wasp.

The Wasp responds to 3 octaves of notes only - on a DX7 or other 61 note keyboard. This corresponds
to bottom C# to C three octaves above.

The Wasp does not respond to pitchbend or indeed any other controls except sustain pedal, which
will hold the current note.

The above limitations are design limitations of the Wasp itself.
