When you cascade your existing
Digital I/O card to the Live! Drive
IR, please note the following:
•
On the Digital I/O card, only
the SPDIF Outputs are
available.
The SPDIF Inputs and 2nd
Line Input are available on the
Live! Drive IR. The SPDIF
Outputs are also available on
the Live! Drive IR.
•
You can connect two MIDI
devices simultaneously to the
MIDI Input of the Live! Drive
IR and Digital I/O card.
However, at any one time, you
can only use the MIDI Input on
either the Live! Drive IR or the
Digital I/O card.
The MIDI Output is available
on both the Digital I/O card
and the Live! Drive IR.
