tion to send MIDI data from the PC/Mac to the DIGITAL
AUDIO INTERFACE, the MIDI data is present at the MIDI
OUT jack on the rear of the PowerMate.

		HINT: For sending MIDI data from your PC to the Pow-

MIDI		Properties in the Windows Control Panel.
		Select DYNACORD USB-MIDI as Default Device
		for MIDI music playback.

Vice versa, all MIDI data input via the MIDI IN jack are passed through to the PC, for instance to be recorded using a sequencer software application.

Keep in mind that the control data for the integrated effects units, that for example can be remotely controlled via MIDI footswitch, are transmitted to the PC as well. Data error interpretation can be avoided through careful selection of suitable MIDI channels, see also “FX Control Setup” on page 32 and the documentation of your soft- ware application.
