Connecting an External MIDI Device
“Through” is a function by which the MIDI messages received at the MIDI
IN connector are re-transmitted without change from the MIDI OUT
connector.
Connection example
If this setting is “OFF,” the MIDI messages arriving at the MIDI IN
connector are sent to the sound generator, and will play the JUNO-Di’s
sound generator. The MIDI messages from the MIDI IN connector will not
be transmitted from the MIDI OUT connector.
If this setting is “ON,” the MIDI messages arriving at the MIDI IN connector
will play the JUNO-Di’s sound generator and will also be re-transmitted
without change from the MIDI OUT connector.
The Soft Through setting is one of the “system settings.” As described in
“Procedure for Making System Settings” (p. 75), select the “MIDI” menu,
select “Soft Through” as the item you want to set, and select either “ON”
or “OFF.”
Normally, this should be turned “OFF.”
If you use a commercially available USB cable to connect the JUNO-Di’s
rear panel USB COMPUTER connector to a USB connector on your
computer, you’ll be able to do the following things.
●
SMF played back by MIDI-compatible software can be sounded by the
JUNO-Di. The JUNO-Di supports GM2; when it receives the MIDI
message “GM2 System On,” it will be ready to play back GM2-
compatible SMF. Alternatively, you can press the [PERFORM] button
and select “64: GM2 Template” to use the JUNO-Di as a GM2 sound
module.
●
MIDI messages can be exchanged between the JUNO-Di and your
sequencer software, allowing you to carry out sophisticated music
production and editing. If you want to use the JUNO-Di as a sound
module to play multiple parts, press the [PERFORM] button and select
“63:Seq:Template.”
