Internal MIDI Routing
You may find this block diagram of the DB-1's internal MIDI routing useful. Note that it is the AUX
MIDI IN that is merged with the DB-1s internal drawbars.
You will probably want to connect your master controller’s output to the AUX MIDI IN jack, and the
DB-1’s MAIN MIDI OUT to your sound module or virtual tonewheel software. This will allow you to
use the DB-1’s internal MIDI Merger to merge your drawbar movements into the MIDI stream
generated by your master controller keyboard.
Note also that the DB-1 can only grab power from the MAIN MIDI IN jack, so you would need to use
the 9v battery for power in this configuration.
