Using MIDI equipment
You can use an external MIDI device to control the CG-8, or use the CG-8 to control
another MIDI device.
This section explains the settings necessary for using the CG-8 with other MIDI
equipment.
For details on what types of control are possible, refer to "MIDI implementation."
You'll need to make the following settings in order to use the CG-8 with another MIDI device.
1.
Device ID setting (p. 103)
Set the device ID for the device controlling the CG-8 to match the CG-8's own
device ID.
2.
MIDI transmit/receive channel (p. 105)
Specify the MIDI channel that the CG-8 is to use for transmission and reception.
3.
Specify the MIDI messages that will be sent from the MIDI OUT connector (p.
107).
Choose whether the connector will retransmit the incoming MIDI messages (MIDI
THRU) or transmit the MIDI messages generated by the CG-8 itself (MIDI OUT).
* If you're using an external MIDI device to control the CG-8, put the CG-8 in Play mode (p.
49).
* When the CG-8 is controlled by MIDI messages, it is controlled independently of the current
state of its panel operations or operating status.
Setting the device number
The CG-8 can receive System Exclusive messages from another MIDI device. In this
case, you must specify the device ID for the messages you want to receive. Set the CG-
8's device ID to the same setting as on the MIDI device that's controlling it.
