Page 41: Midi
MIDI "MIDI" stands for "Musical Instrument Digital Interface." It is an international standard that allows electronic musical instruments to communicate with each other, using a simple cableconnection. The Mark-Pro TWOi is compatible with other MIDI instruments. MIDI Connection On the rear panel are two MIDI ports: MIDI In receives MIDI messages from other equipment. - Page 42 If you connect In to Out, rather than Out to In, the other instrument becomes the Master. And if you use two cables, connecting In to Out, a n d Out to In, you can use either instrument as the Master. You probably will want to use the Mark-Pro TWOi as the master keyboard.

Page 43: Midi Channels
MIDI Channels For MIDI to control several instruments, each playing a different part at the same time, it uses different channels. There are 16 channels available, and each one can transmit any number of notes to any number of instruments, over the same MIDI cable. - Page 44 Volume: CC #7, 39 The Mark-Pro TWOi recognizes Volume messages, which control the overall volume of the sound on the MIDI channel on which they are sent. Controller 7 can be used by itself, or when subtle control is desired, controller 39 can be used with it.
