Notes Regarding Node MIDI Connection
When you make MIDI connections on a Windows computer, note the following:
• Each group of eight ports of the node MIDI OUT connector will be connected to a group of
eights ports on another node’s MIDI IN connector.
• When you connect or disconnect one output connector, other output connectors on the same
node are automatically connected or disconnected.
• The computer’s MIDI IN connectors 1-16 are connected to an S400-compatible device that
features a transfer rate of 400Mbps.
• The computer’s MIDI IN connector 17 is connected to an S200-compatible device that
features a transfer rate of 200Mbps.
• If multiple S200-compatible devices are connected in an mLAN network, you can connect
only one of them to the computer’s MIDI IN connector.
For example, if you connect MIDI OUT 1 on an mLAN16E (an S400-compatible device) to the
computer’s MIDI IN 5, all MIDI OUTs (1-4) on the mLAN16E will be automatically configured as
connectors to the computer’s MIDI INs 1-4. You cannot connect any other nodes to the computer’s
MIDI INs 5-8.
You can connect the MIDI OUT connectors on the nodes of other S400-compatible devices to the
computer’s MIDI IN 9-16.
If a single cable represents bundled multiple cables in an on-screen window, disconnecting one of the
multiple cables will disconnect the other bundled cables.
You can connect the MIDI OUT connector on the mLAN16E (an S400-compatible device) only to
the computer’s MIDI IN 1-16 (dedicated for an S400-compatible device).
Similarly, an S200-compatible device can be connected only to the computer’s MIDI IN 17
(dedicated for an S200-compatible device).
