Connecting a MIDI Sequence Recorder

The LD-34 may be connected to an external MIDI sequence recorder for the purpose of
recording/playback of MIDI sequences or songs, such as the MIDI Assistant™. A connecting
diagram is located below. If more specific information is required, please consult the owners'
manuals of the external devices being connected to the organ.
MIDI sequencers must be connected to the unswitched MIDI port labeled MIDI OUT 1. The
drawing below illustrates the proper procedure for connecting the Allen MIDI Assistant™ to
the LD-34.

MIDI Transmission Channels

MIDI information may be transmitted on several different channels simultaneously. This
allows many channels of information to be sent through one cable and used independently
from one another, similar to the way many television broadcasts can be sent through one
cable. In order to receive the intended information, a MIDI device must be tuned to the same
channel as the device that is sending the information. The LD-34 transmits MIDI information
on several channels.
In addition to keying and divisional registration information, MIDI Volume Messages are
sent on the individual MIDI channels for each division of the organ. These volume messages
are controlled by the division's expression shoe. If any external MIDI device is used to
transmit information to the Allen organ, the same assignment of MIDI channels must be used
as described elsewhere in this manual.
