Connecting MIDI
Connect the facepanel to any MIDI equipment using a standard MIDI cable.
On the rear panel, there are three round, 5-pin, DIN-type connectors labeled MIDI In, MIDI
Out, and Keyboard (Expression/Insight only) or MIDI Thru (Express only). Turn facepanel
power off, then connect the cable from the MIDI Out of the electronic instrument or
sequencer to the MIDI In on the facepanel. Connect the cable from the MIDI In on the
instrument or sequencer to the connector labeled MIDI Out.
C A U T I O N :
On Expression/Insight facepanels, do not plug the MIDI cable into the connector
labeled Keyboard. This connector is for use with an optional alphanumeric
keyboard and may damage MIDI equipment.
If needed, you can set the MIDI Out connector on an Expression or Insight facepanel as a
MIDI Thru port (see MIDI Out/Thru jumper setting, page 228 ).
Connect MIDI equipment to the facepanel:
Step 1: Turn facepanel power off.
Step 2: Insert standard MIDI cable into the connector on the back of the facepanel
labeled MIDI In. Do not insert MIDI cable into the connector labeled Keyboard.
Step 3: If you are sending MIDI commands from the facepanel, insert another standard
MIDI cable into the connector on the back of the facepanel labeled MIDI Out.
MIDI Out/Thru jumper setting
A jumper is a small plastic connector used to join a pair of pins sticking out of a printed
circuit board. The jumper is installed when it covers both pins. It is not installed when it
covers one or none of the pins.
