6.2
Establish connections
It is possible to connect any source to any destination, as a whole virtual cable or according to message type.
Establishing connections is done from the connection tab of the CopperLan Manager software application.
To connect a whole virtual cable, select the appropriate source device and click on the MIDI connector icon. You
complete the operation by selecting a destination. All messages appearing at the source will be transferred to the
destination without any filtering or remapping.
Instead of connecting a whole cable content, it is allowed to connect individually one or more message types
according to the following split:
1.
Note and Controller messages on a channel basis – these are channel messages
Any of the 16 MIDI channels content can be linked separately
2.
Clock messages (incl. clock control and song position messages)
Any clock from any source can be connected to any destination. Note that MIDI destinations can only
accept a single clock whereas CopperLan destinations can accept many.
3.
Other messages (Sys)
This selection covers all messages to the exception of messages in categories 1 and 2 hereabove. This
linking is essentially used for Sysex and MTC messages.
It is meaningful to only connect sources and destinations of adequate messages type (e.g. Sys to Sys). However,
it is allowed to connect any source channel to any destination channel, effectively realizing a channel remapping.
