MIDI Port Setup
MIDI ports are configured as follows.
1Use the DISPLAY ACCESS [SETUP] button to locate the MIDI/TO HOST Setup
page.
2Use the cursor buttons to select the parameters, and use the Parameter
wheel, INC/DEC buttons, and [ENTER] button to set them.
TO HOST SERIAL: These buttons are used to configure the TO HOST SERIAL port for
use with either a Mac or PC.
GENERAL: These parameters are used to select ports for general MIDI data transmission
and reception, including Program Changes for recalling Scenes, Control Changes for
real-time parameter control, and Note On/Off for use with the Freeze effect. Available ports
include: MIDI, SERIAL 1–8, USB 1–8, and SLOT1 1–8.
MIDI THRU: These parameters allow you to route the incoming MIDI data from one port
through to another port. Available ports include: MIDI, SERIAL 1–8, USB 1–8, and SLOT1
1–8.
REMOTE1: This parameter is used to select a port for the Remote Layer. Available ports
include: MIDI, SERIAL 1–8, USB 1–8, and SLOT1 1–8. If Pro Tools is selected as the target
for a Remote Layer, “Pro Tools” is displayed here and no settings can be made.
Studio Manager: These parameters are used to select a port for use with the Studio
Manager software and to assign the 02R96 an ID from 1 to 8. Available ports include: MIDI,
SERIAL 1–8, USB 1–8, and SLOT1 1–8. See the Studio Manager documentation for more
information.
DAW: These parameters are used to select ports for use with DAWs. Since three ports are
required to control DAWs, ports are selected in groups of three, as follows: 1–3, 2–4, 3–5,
4–6, 5–7, 6–8. Available ports include: SERIAL, USB, and SLOT1.
PLUG-IN1–4: These parameters are used to select ports for use with the Plug-Ins. If a
Waves Plug-In card is installed in a Slot, the number of that Slot is displayed and no settings
can be made. If the Plug-In target is set to USER DEFINED, you can select a port from
MIDI, SERIAL 1–8, USB 1–8, or SLOT1 1–8. Ports for User Defined Plug-Ins can also be set
on the Plug-In Setup page (see page 135).

Caution: When a PC is connected to the TO HOST SERIAL port, do not set this to Mac

because your PC may crash.

Note: Some functions cannot share ports. If you try to assign a port that’s already assigned to
such a function, the message “Change Port?” appears. If you select YES, the port will be assigned
to the selected function and the previously assigned function will be set to “NO ASSIGN.”
