The front panel of the MIDI BAY also accomodates four
connectors:
<MIDI Aux.> offers two
MIDI connectors
that are
identical to the connectors [Source 15] and [Destination
15] on the rear. The MIDI IN connector on the front has
priority: as soon as you hook up a MIDI instrument
here, the corresponding MIDI IN connector on the rear
is switched off. Thus, you may "loop in" additional units
(for instance, your friend's remote keyboard and/or a
new sound expander) into your system without having
to use the connectors on the rear of the MIDI BAY.
The
[Remote] jack
is for connecting of the optional
remote control
MBR-1
With this unit all functions of the
MIDI BAY can be performed even over greater
distances - an advantage not to be underestimated,
especially in the studio or on stage. Although this is a 5-
pos. connector, this is not a MIDI connector and you
should never try to insert a MIDI cable here!
Connect a conventional foot switch via the
[footswitch]
jack.
With this switch you can switch over between
MIDI BAY programs which will also facilitate your work
-especially in live situations where two different setups
must be rapidly accessible!
Before we forget... of course an
[On/Offj switch
can be
found as well!
➔
While we're at it, we would like to mention that you
have to switch on the MIDI BAY before you turn on
the receiving units connected.
On the rear of the MIDI BAY you will find a fairly high
number of inputs and outputs: on the whole, 75
[Source]
and
15 [Destination] connectors
are waiting for
you to hook up your instruments, computer(s) and
controllers.
Furthermore, the
fuse holder
can be found on the rear.
➔
if the fuse has blown, only replace it by a fuse of the
same type and rating! Otherwise, you run the risk of
damaging your MIDI BAY badly ... additionally, this will
void the warranty!
