Lamp mode
In lamp mode, the lowest note value in the selected range will drive output 1, the next
lowest will drive output 2, and so on.
Magnet mode
In magnet mode, the lowest note value in the selected range will drive output 1 for the
"on" magnet and output 2 for the "off" magnet, the next lowest will drive output 3 for the
"on" magnet and output 4 for the "off" magnet, and so on.
5. MIDI connections
We recommend using a high quality, recognized brand device to convert between MIDI
and USB.
We have found two midrange units to be reliable in many different
configurations: the Cakewalk UM-1G and the M-Audio MIDIsport 2x2.
Both are
available from most music retailers. We have no connection with either company.
In theory, it is possible to "daisy-chain" any number of DC-24 and DC-48 cards together
by connecting the MIDI out port of one to the MIDI in port of the next. However, for
best performance, we recommend that no more than four decoder cards be connected
together in this way. If you use more cards than this, we recommend use of a multi-way
MIDI converter such as an M-Audio MIDIsport 4x4.
