The File Menu - Panda-Audio Future Impact v3 User Manual

The MIDI IN and OUT ports are as follows:
● Output Device ​ s elects which device the Editor uses to ​ s end ​ M IDI information ​ t o ​ t he
FI.
● Input Device ​ s elects which device the Editor uses to ​ r eceive ​ M IDI information ​ f rom
the FI.
● Keyboard Input Device​ is a second MIDI IN to the Editor. If you want to design a
sound using a keyboard instead of the bass/guitar, connect the MIDI OUT of the
keyboard to the computer via this second MIDI IN and the computer will perform a
through function to the FI for the keyboard signals.
Important: do not connect the FI's MIDI OUT to the computer's MIDI IN via ​ K eyboard Input
Device​ ; the FI's MIDI OUT should only ever be connected to the computer's MIDI IN using
FI Input Device​ . This is because from version 1.22 of the FI there is a MIDI through function
implemented in the software. Since ​ K eyboard Input Device​ also implements a MIDI
through, connecting the FI MIDI OUT to the computer via this input would cause an infinite
MIDI loop.

The File Menu

The options in the ​ F ILE​ pull-down menu are explained below.
If you want to be able to write programs to the FI then
you need two MIDI connections between the FI and
your computer:
1. MIDI OUT of the interface → MIDI IN of the FI;
2. MIDI OUT of the FI → MIDI IN of the interface.
If you just want to audition, edit and create sounds
and save them to your computer (without writing them
to the FI) then only connection 1 is needed.
