Setting Up: Chapter 1

MIDI HOOKUP

If you are using a MIDI keyboard or sequencer, connect its [MIDI OUT] to the DM5’s [MIDI IN]. If you have another MIDI device you wish to control from the same keyboard or sequencer, connect the DM5’s [MIDI OUT/THRU] to the other device’s [MIDI IN]. This also requires that you turn the DM5’s MIDI Thru parameter on.

To turn on the MIDI Thru parameter:

➀Press the [MIDI] button. The [MIDI] button will light.

➁Press the [] button twice to select the Thru parameter. The Thru parameter’s value will flash.

➂Turn the [VALUE] knob clockwise until the Thru parameter’s value reads “On”. For more information about MIDI connections, see Chapter 3.
