About MIDI

What is MIDI?
MIDI (for "Musical Instrument Digital Interface") is a standard, internationally recognized interface for music-related dig-
ital communication among electronic instruments, computers, sequencers, and related devices. The interface allows dif-
ferent types of devices from different manufactures to exchange music performance data, music voice data, and other
music-related information.
MIDI Channels
A single MIDI cable carries up to 16 channels of performance data. The channel concept is the same as with TV broadcast-
ing: multiple channels are transmitted, and the viewer selects any one of these channels to be received. If you wish to con-
trol the SU200 from an external MIDI device, therefore, you need to set the SU200's MIDI Receive channel to match the
external device's Send channel.
MIDI Features Supported by the SU200
Use the clock from an external sequencer to control the timing of Loop-Track Play.
External Sequencer (RM1x, etc.)
• To use this feature, you need to set the SU200's clock setting to EXT. (See page 39).
• In some cases, playback may not operate correctly if BPM is set to 60 or below.
Use an external keyboard to control pad play (to turn pads on and off).
MIDI Keyboard
MIDI Keyboard
• To use this feature, you must set the keyboard's output channel and the SU200's receive channel to the same
channel number. (See page 39.)
• The 24 white keys from C1 to E4 on the MIDI keyboard correspond to the SU200's 24 virtual pads.
(See next page.)
• Playback may be somewhat late if all of the playback samples are EXLG (extra long).
