NOTE: If MIDI Pitch Bend messages are not recognized, the external device
connected to MIDI OUT with TUNED OUTPUT switched ON will not be retuned!

Natively Microtonal Synthesizers and Samplers

Hardware or software synthesizers and samplers which already have native microtonal support can
be controlled by TPX2s/4s/6 using either MIDI THRU or MIDI OUT with TUNED OUTPUT switched to
OFF. In each case, TPX2s/4/s/6 will send standard MIDI Note messages and the retuning will take
place in the external unit.

Startup Sequence

The following startup sequence should always be used with TPX2s/4s/6 and anything connected to
it:
1. Turn on any external units connected to MIDI OUT or MIDI THRU
2. Turn on TPX2s/4s
3. Turn on any external controller connected to MIDI IN
NOTE: TPX2s/4s/6 will do nothing in response to an Active Sensing external
controller if the controller is turned on before TPX2s/4s.

8. Sequencer / MIDI Footswitch Control

TPX2s/4s/6 can receive MIDI instructions remotely from many kinds of controllers, including
sequencers, notation programs and MIDI footswitches. In addition to NOTE ON and NOTE OFF
messages, TPX2s/4s/6 responds to other MIDI messages which can be used to control the currently
selected bank, patch, and tuning table independent of TPX2s/4s/6 physical controls. This way, MIDI
sequences and live performances can employ a number of different patches and tunings without
