If a clean MTC only feed is required, a MIDI controlling device must
operate in open loop mode.
7.3B BRC Control Feed Through
The AI-2 permits MIDI control and response feed through to the
BRC from the MIDI input and output connectors. This is provided
so that devices which are designed to control the BRC through its
MIDI connectors can still do so, even though the AI-2 is now in
control of the BRC MIDI connectors.
External commands intended for the BRC may be connected to the
MIDI IN connector, in the control section of the AI-2. These com-
mands will be merged with the AI-2's own commands for the BRC
and sent through the MIDI OUT connector, in the BRC section to
the BRC.
Responses from the BRC may be picked up at the MIDI THRU con-
nector in the BRC section of the AI-2 or the MIDI OUT connector.
The responses will include not only those responses which the
external device would normally receive, but also those responses
which were generated by the AI-2's data requests to the BRC.

7.3C MIDI SysEx
The AI-2 can be interfaced to external MIDI storage devices, the
BRC, or another AI-2, for transferring setup information. This MIDI
data can be used to set up the AI-2 menus. The read and save
data transfer options are set in the commands menu and when
saving selected data is specified in the MIDI menu.
The AI-2 also has an Auto SysEx read mode command that can be
used to automatically overwrite the AI-2 header information,
