INTRODUCTION
The MCS2 has 12 controllers which can be used to send any type of MIDI control message. When used
with a MIDI keyboard such as the CP60M/70M/80M or pf70/80, the MCS2 gives you the MIDI functions
you need to control connected tone generators, rhythm machines and sequencers. In addition, it can merge
the input from the two MIDI IN jacks and add it to its own MIDI output. A large backlit LCD assures clear
readout even in dim light. The MCS2 is the same width as the 0X21
Digital Sequence Recorder and TX7
FM Expander, for easy stacking.
Here are some ways to connect the MCS2 and examples of how it can be used.
STOP!
Controlling Pitch Bend, Modulation Wheel and Foot Controller:
The pf80 will accept Pitch Bend, Modulation Wheel and Foot Con-
troller data, but does not have these controllers built-in. You can use
the MCS2 controllers to affect the pf80.
Controlling Program Change, Portamento On/Off and Volume:
CP80M
MCS2
TX7
You can use the MCS2 Program Change switches to select voices on
the TX7, and use a Foot Controller and Foot Switch plugged into the
MCS82 to control the TX7 volume and turn Portamento on and off.
These are only a few of the ways the MCS2 can be used to give you
complete MIDI control. Please read this manual carefully to learn the
full extent of its capabilities.
If you are a little unsure about your knowledge of MIDI, go and read
p.25 "What's Hexadecimal" and p.27, "What's MIDI."
