Figure 2.1: Studio 4 Front Panel
From left to right, the front panel ports,
LED's and buttons are as follows:
MIDI Ports 7/15 and 8/16
These two pairs of MIDI ports are on the
front panel to facilitate quick, temporary
connection of synthesizers, controllers or
other MIDI devices. MIDI ports are dis-
cussed in detail in "The Studio 4 Rear
Panel" section later in this chapter.
Front panel MIDI output ports 7/15 and
8/16 are duplicates of MIDI output ports
7/15 and 8/16 found on the rear panel. If
you connect a device to both a front panel
MIDI output and its corresponding rear
panel output, MIDI data will be sent to
both devices.
Front panel MIDI input ports 7/15 and 8/
16 are in addition to the 6 MIDI inputs
found on the rear panel. MIDI input ports
7/15 and 8/16 are not duplicated on the
rear panel.

If the 1-8/9-16 switch is in the 1-8 position,
these two ports are numbered 7 and 8. If
the 1-8/9-16 switch is in the 9-16 position,
the ports are numbered 15 and 16.
MIDI In LED's
These eight red Light Emitting Diodes
(LED's) indicate MIDI data is arriving at
one or more of the Studio 4's eight MIDI
input ports.
MIDI Out LED's
This row of green Light Emitting Diodes
(LED's) indicates MIDI data is leaving
one or more of the Studio 4's eight MIDI
output ports.
1MHz/Fast Switch
Use this switch to select a communication
speed. 1MHz is the standard MIDI inter-
face speed required by most MIDI
software. Fast speed increases MIDI
throughput, thereby increasing the
number of simultaneous MIDI channels.
Check your MIDI application manuals to
see if they support Fast mode. Opcode
products that support Fast mode include
Vision, Studio Vision and EZ Vision.
