MIDI SYSTEM COMPONENT
The diagram below shows a much more complicated system, configured with a
personal computer operating as the main sequencer and system brain , the W5/W7 acting
as the master performance input device, and three additional samplers or tone generators
also connected.
With this system a MIDI patch bay is required, and MIDI INs and OUTs of all devices
are connected to it. Each device s stereo outputs are plugged into the two channels of an
external audio mixer, which is in turn plugged into a stereo amp and speakers for monitor-
ing.
With this system the W5/W7 can switch back and forth between master and slave
roles, as designated by the sequencing (and or librarian) software installed on the personal
computer.
