INTRODUCTION TO MIDI OPERATION
M5000
The M5000 has standard MIDI In/Out/Thru connectors located on the rear panel. This chapter
describes MIDI operation of the M5000, which you will see is quite extensive.
MIDI operation of the M5000 allows you to do the following:
•
Control algorithm-parameters using MIDI Controllers.
•
Recall programs using MIDI Program Change.
•
Re-map programs (useful e.g. for associating a program with a synthesizer preset).
•
Communicate using MIDI System-Exclusives (for software-developers... see the end
of this chapter).
If you wish to fully understand MIDI as such, there are a number of books on the subject
available at music stores. However, you will not need a thorough understanding of MIDI to
utilize the features discussed in this chapter.
APPLICATIONS AND MIDI
As you know, multiple applications (DSP-cards) can be running at the same time. All
applications share the same MIDI input/output, but it is vital to understand that each
application has its own completely individual MIDI-setup. Each application has individual
input/output channels and Program Maps. MIDI data received at MIDI In is actually fed into
all applications, and MIDI output from all applications is merged and transmitted at MIDI
Out.
Please note, that the System-Exclusive Device# (which is used to identify the M5000 when it
is being controlled from a Macintosh or PC-editor) is set for the entire M5000 frame. You can
still access each individual DSP-card, but this is controlled from the editor.
SETTING UP THE M5000 FOR MIDI OPERATION
Press the UTILITY button, and then turn the PROGRAM knob until the MIDI menu appears.
Press the <Page button as many times as possible. You will now see the following (actual
values may be different, but that is quite OK):
