42 ZOOM B9.1ut

What you can do with

MIDI

The B9.1ut lets you use MIDI in various ways,
as described below.
● Send and receive patch switching
information via MIDI
When you switch patches at the B9.1ut, the MIDI
OUT connector carries the correspondi ng MIDI
messages (program change, or bank select +
program change). Similarly, when a valid MIDI
message is received at the MIDI IN connector,
the B9.1ut will perform the corresponding patch
switch action.
This makes it possible to have patches at the
B9.1ut switched automatically under control
of a MIDI sequencer, or link operation of the
B9.1ut to patch switching at other MIDI enabled
devices.
● Send and receive pedal/switch/key
operation informa tion via MIDI
When you operate specific keys and foot
switches of the B9.1ut, or operate the expression
pedal, the MIDI OUT connector carr ies the
corresponding MIDI messages (control change).
Similarly, when a valid MIDI message is
received at the MIDI IN connector, the B9.1ut
will vary the corresponding paramete r.
This makes it possible to use the B9.1ut as a
real-time controller for other MIDI enabled
devices, or alter effect parameters and module
on/off status under control of a MIDI sequencer,
synthesizer, or other MIDI enabled device.
● Exchange patch data between two
B9.1ut units via MIDI
The patch data of the B9.1ut can be output as
MIDI messages (system exclusive), for copying
to another B9.1ut.

Selecting the MIDI

channel

To enable correct sending and receiving of
program change, control change and other MIDI
messages, the MIDI channel (1 – 16) setting of
the B9.1ut and the other MIDI device must be
matched. To set the MIDI channel at the B9.1ut,
proceed as follows.
In manual mode or play mode,

1.

press the [SYSTEM] key.
