The Avista 7600 and MIDI
The Avista 7600 can transmit MIDI data from its keyboard and foot
pedal(s), allowing you to use its keyboard to control an external MIDI
instrument, such as an external sound module or MIDI sequencer.
In addition, MIDI data that the Avista 7600 receives from an external
device can play its internal sounds.
Note:
The transmission and/or reception of MIDI data is dependent on
the proper connection of MIDI cables. See Page 5.
Transmitting MIDI from the Avista 7600
MIDI data can travel from one instrument to another on any of 16
channels. The Avista can transmit data from its keyboard and foot
pedal(s) on any MIDI channel you desire.
