This option is used when connecting
MUSIC MODULE to a musical
instrument which is equipped with MIDI
such as a synthesizer. MIDI is a means
of communication between electronic
musical instruments so that for example
a number of synthesizers can be played
from one keyboard. MIDI also allows
your computer to "drive" a MIDI
instrument via MUSIC MODULE'S
built-in MIDI interface. This means that
instead of using the MUSIC MODULE
sound source MUSIC MODULE will
play the same music but using the
sounds of the MIDI instrument that it is
connected to. For instructions on how to
connect to MIDI see Section 13
CONNECTIONS. To select MIDI ON
move the pointer to MIDI and select ON
as described in Section 3 under
CONTROLS. When MIDI ON is
selected, there will be no audio output
from MUSIC
MODULE.
MIDI MODE
There are two different MIDI modes
available on MUSIC MODULE: POLY
and MONO. All MIDI instruments
should be equipped with POLY mode
but only a few MIDI instruments are
equipped with MONO mode. POLY
mode means that all the notes sent to the
MIDI instrument will play the same
sound which is selected on the MIDI
instrument. With MONO mode a
number of different sounds channels can
be allocated a different sound (the
number of different sounds that can be
allocated depends on the sophistication
of the MIDI instrument). To select the
required MIDI mode move the pointer to
MIDI MODE and select POLY or
MONO as described in Section 3 under
CONTROLS.
