How It Works
If you own several MIDI devices - probably some of
them sending and receiving data on several MIDI
channels - you're probably vexed regularly because the
connection cables have to be rearranged all the time:
when controlling several sound expanders from one
keyboard, you would like to control the same expanders
by the sequencer and play along on a second
keyboard. Maybe you would like to trigger your sampler
from a MIDI drum kit and subsequently load sample
data into your computer...
All of these jobs require different cabling - this needs a
lot of time and stresses the mechanically unsafe 5-pin
DIN connectors excessively. And it is even more
frustrating to leave the MIDI cabling as it is. thus
possibly restricting both performance and potential of
the instruments.
Today, with even small homerecording studios
integrating several keyboards, possibly MIDI drum pads
and various sound generators, these problems multiply
-the system becomes badly arranged and unreliable.
In such a situation, the MIDI BAY is the optimum
solution. It enables you to quickly set up even a
complex MIDI system and to get it reliably under
control. Flexibility is not restricted anymore: 15 freely
programmable inputs and outputs each allow for
individual solutions. Furthermore, a merge function
provides mixing of two MIDI data packages, thus
multiplying the system's capabilities both live on stage
as well as if operated with a sequencer.
Let's take a closer look at how the MIDI BAY works:
