Control via MIDI
IDI stands for Musical Instrument Dig-
ital Interface, and is a world-wide
standard for exchanging various types
of musical data between electronic
musical instruments and computers. When MIDI
cables are used to connect two or more MIDI
devices, performance data can be exchanged
between the devices, even if they were made by
different manufacturers.
ToneLab LE can use MIDI to communi-
cate in the following ways with another MIDI
device. You can:
• Operate ToneLab LE to switch programs on an
external MIDI device, or switch ToneLab LE
programs from an external MIDI device.
→
“Program change”
• Operate a connected optional foot controller to
control an external MIDI device, or use an
external MIDI device to control ToneLab LE’s
volume or effects.
→
“Control change”
• Use Sound Editor to edit parameters.
→
“Parameter change”
• Backup (save) and restore (load) ToneLab LE
program data.
→
“Backing up and restoring
program data”
NOTE: In order to do the above things, you need to
use a MIDI cable to connect ToneLab LE and
your external MIDI device, and set the MIDI
channels appropriately.
→
“Connecting a MIDI
device or computer,” “Setting the MIDI chan-
nel”
NOTE: When you change the settings described in
this section, they will be saved automatically.
When you have finished making settings, sim-
ply press the EXIT/TUNE button (4.8) to return
to the mode you were in.
NOTE: If your external MIDI device does not recog-
nize certain types of MIDI messages, those
messages cannot be used for control. Check
the “MIDI implementation chart” of ToneLab LE
and of your external MIDI device.

If you want to control an external MIDI device from
ToneLab LE, connect a MIDI cable from ToneLab
LE’s MIDI OUT jack to the MIDI IN jack of your
external MIDI device.
If you want to control ToneLab LE from a MIDI
sequencer or other external MIDI device, con-
nect a MIDI cable from your external MIDI
device’s MIDI OUT jack to ToneLab LE’s MIDI IN
jack.
When you connect ToneLab LE with a MIDI
sequencer or sound editor, data will normally be
sent in both directions, so you will need to con-
nect MIDI cables from ToneLab LE’s MIDI OUT
jack to the external MIDI device’s MIDI IN jack,
and from the external MIDI device’s MIDI OUT
jack to ToneLab LE’s MIDI IN jack.
NOTE: You will need a MIDI interface in order to con-
nect your computer with ToneLab LE.
Some USB-MIDI interface devices may not be
able to transmit/receive the ToneLab LE’s MIDI
exclusive messages.
