OVERVIEW
The MR5 is a translator that takes the MIDI data output from a controller or sequencer and converts the commands to the
JR5 footswitch language. This allows any Radial device that employs the JR5 to be integrated into MIDI controlled guitar
rigs, or be used in sequenced performances.
MIDI DEVICE
The Radial JR5 itself employs a proprietary interface that uses
standard XLR connectors. It is important to note that the reason
the JR5, or products like the JX44 or JX42, do not employ MIDI
is that the MIDI protocol is not designed to carry power. When
developing the interface for the JR5 remote, we wanted the power
to come from the device (example JX44) so that local power
would not be required. Furthermore, the XLR is a much more
robust connector than a typical 5-pin DIN and is readily available
from any PA company. It is also extendable which means that on
larger stages, you can simply connect two or more XLR cables
in line to achieve the required cable length.
