System Functions (SYSTEM)
Dump Interval (DumpIntrval)
Settings: 50, 100, 150, 200, 300
This determines the length of time the
MU100 pauses when sending blocks of
data in the Dump Out functions. If the
receiving device fails to process the data
or displays a "buffer full" type message,
try setting this parameter to a higher value
and send the data again.
Thru Port
Range: 1 — 8
Some MIDI devices and sequencers are
capable of transmitting data over several
MIDI "ports," effectively breaking the
16-channel barrier. When this data is re-
ceived via the TO HOST terminal on the
MU100, this parameter determines which
MIDI port's data will be routed through
the MIDI OUT terminal. This allows you
to connect another multi-timbral tone
generator to the MU100 and play back
data over 48 independent MIDI channels
— 32 on the MU100 and another 16 on
the connected tone generator.

NOTE
The MU100 can receive Cable messages (F5)
when the TO HOST terminal is connected to
the serial terminal of a computer. On the
MU100, MIDI receive channels A1 — A16
are controlled from Port 1, and channels B1
— B16 are controlled from Port 2. If the soft-
ware you are using can address separate MIDI
ports, data can be received over 32 channels
simultaneously, allowing 32 parts to be
played with only one serial cable. By con-
necting another multi-timbral tone generator
to the MIDI OUT terminal of the MU100 and
setting the Thru Port function to a value other
than 1 or 2, you can play back data over a
total of 48 MIDI channels — 32 on the
MU100 and another 16 on the connected
tone generator.
