TASCAM SX-1
Quick Start Guide
Chapter 4 – MIDI Basics
Connecting MIDI
The back of the SX-1 has six MIDI connections:two
MIDI INs and four MIDI OUTs. The jack labeled
MIDI IN
accepts MIDI controller data, while the
MTC
IN
jack accepts incoming MTC (MIDI Time Code)
for synchronization.
The four MIDI outputs can be configured indepen-
dently and can send both performance and synchro-
nization data. Connect your controller’s MIDI output
to the SX-1’s jack labeled
MIDI IN
, and connect the
SX-1’s
MIDI OUT
s to the inputs of your MIDI sound
modules, MIDI-controlled effects, or devices requir-
ing MTC for sync.
In the above example, the MIDI OUT of the control-
ler goes to the SX-1’s
MIDI IN
. The SX-1’s
MIDI
OUT
s go to the MIDI INs of your sound modules,
MIDI-controlled effects and devices that chase MTC.
You can connect multiple devices to the same jack on
the SX-1 by using the MIDI THRU ports on your
external MIDI devices.
