USING MIDI

Your MD-1600 includes a feature called MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Inter- face) — the universal standard for send- ing and receiving performance data between electronic musical instru- ments, regardless of manufacturer.

Using MIDI, you can play music on your MD-1600 and another instrument at the same time while pressing the keys on only one, record your music to a se- quencer, acquire a wider selection of preset tones from a sound module, and much more.

representing exactly what is being played on it. The other MIDI device re- ceives and translates those instruc- tions, then produces (or records) the sound exactly as it was played on the first device.

MAKING THE MIDI

CONNECTIONS

MIDI OUT

ABOUT MIDI

Every MIDI-equipped instrument has MIDI OUT and IN terminals. Some also have a MIDI THRU terminal. Each termi- nal serves a different purpose.

MIDI OUT sends MIDI data to (“talks to”) the other MIDI instrument(s).

MIDI IN receives (“listens to”) MIDI data sent by the other MIDI instrument(s).

MIDI THRU lets you connect (“network”) additional MIDI instruments, and sends along to other MIDI devices a copy of all data it receives through its MIDI IN ter- minal.

The cable that connects MIDI devices does not actually carry sound between them, like a speaker wire carries sound from a receiver to a speaker. Instead, MIDI-equipped devices talk to each oth- er in digital codes (instructions). One MIDI device sends digital instructions

Your MD-1600 has MIDI OUT and IN ter- minals. To connect your MD-1600 to an- other MIDI-equipped device, you must use a MIDI cable, available at your local RadioShack store.

MIDI IN

Cautions:

•Always turn off power to your MD- 1600 and the other MIDI device before you connect or disconnect MIDI cables.

•As you make the cable connections, be sure to align the MIDI cable pins with the matching holes on the MIDI OUT and IN terminals. If you have trouble plugging in the cable, do not force it! You might damage the plug or the instrument.
