The interface can transmit its own MIDI System 
Exclusive  data.  These  messages  are  used  for 
back-up  /  recovery  of  the  internal  memory 
settings. 

To back-up the memory of the interface, connect 
interface’s THRU/OUT MIDI output to MIDI input 
of the host system (PC, DAW, sequencer…)

INTERFACE OPERATION

INTERFACE OPERATION

INTERFACE OPERATION

INTERFACE OPERATION    

 
The interface has a single manual control element – Reset button – which turns the interface to reset status. All 
other functions of the interface are set / controlled by MIDI commands only. 

Working  status of  the  interface  is indicated  by  bi-color LED.  The indication LED is off in reset  status of the 
interface when the interface doesn’t affect the instrument. The interface indication LED lights red in MIDI mode 
when the interface takes control over an instrument circuit. If the LED indication function of the interface is 
enabled (for details see chapter 4.2.16), selected function is indicated by green light or blinking of the indication 
LED. If an error occurs, the indication LED starts to blink yellow (for details see chapter 6.1).

When the Polysix is switched on or when the interface’s Reset button is pressed, the interface is disabled (it 
does not  affect the  instrument) and  the  instrument can be used  usual way like no MIDI interface has been 
installed. The interface is now monitoring the incoming MIDI data.

MIDI MODE    

    

When an acceptable MIDI command (see chapter 5) is received, the interface turns to MIDI mode automatically 
and takes control over some instrument’s circuits (see figs. 3 and 4) accordingly to the incoming MIDI data type.

Attention!  Disable the MIDI  ECHO, THRU functions of your  sequencer in  this case to prevent  communication loops that  might “freeze” your MIDI
