MIDI events
A master keyboard or a sequencer sends a string of
MIDI data to the Music Processor’s computer; these are
instructions on the way in which the Sounds must be
played. The MIDI data can also be recorded by the
Music Processor’s internal sequencer (which is pre-
cisely a MIDI data recorder).
MIDI data, or “events”, are generated by the Sources,
they are controlled by the Tracks and, finally, they are
sent to the Destinations: (Fig. 3)
