MIDI Page

In the MIDI page you can activate or deactivate the MIDI input and MIDI output
devices separately by using the two Enable checkboxes. Remember that changes
will only take effect after rebooting Windows.

There are three states a MIDI device may enter: Closed, Paused and Playing. If a
MIDI device is not in use it is ClosedPaused MIDI devices are not actually playing.
Playing indicates that a MIDI device is in use by an application. In that case MIDI
Bytes 
counts up with every byte transferred by the driver.

To obtain MIDI Machine Control and  ADAT Time Code information, connect an
ADAT recorder with an ADAT Sync cable to the LAGOON and choose ADAT Sync
In 
(General page). The transport field and the time display then always will show the
current status of your ADAT recorder. Assuming Input device is enabled, Time Code
synchronization is possible now. Since ADAT recorders do not accept MIDI data
coming from an application, the Output device will be ignored in this mode.

Hint: For proper MIDI timing always make sure the LAGOON is running at a valid
sample rate (Output error light in the Status page should be turned off).

Status Page

The Status page will give you information about the actual state of the LAGOON
card. The upper part of this page contains 4 groups of possible error messages: Input
Errors, Output Error, MIDI Errors and General Errors
. By checking the boxes on
the left side of the error light you can determine if the corresponding error will be
evaluated or if it will be ignored. If you check a box and the corresponding error
occurs, the red error light will turn on. If any of the error lights on this page is turned
on, the light on top of the Status page and the LAGOON icon in the Windows taskbar
will start blinking. This way you can see if something is wrong with your LAGOON
without always having the Status page on top of your desktop.
