Changing the driver set-
ting (MIDI Patch Screen)
You can change the assignment of I/O ports on the UW500 and port numbers
selected from the computer.
Sequence software transmits and receives MIDI signals to and from the UW500 via the
driver (page 22). The UW500 is equipped with MIDI IN/OUT terminals and a TO TG
terminal. You specify the I/O ports of the UW500 to control from the computer’s
sequence software. At this time, changing the driver setting enables you to change
these I/O assignments without re-patching the cables.
For example, you can transmit an identical MIDI signal to multiple ports or transmit
layered MIDI signals from multiple ports to a single port. Also, you can directly route
MIDI signals from MIDI IN to MIDI OUT.
The following table shows the assignment of the port numbers and I/O ports. With the
default settings, the port number matches the computer’s port number.
If a tone generator connected to the TO TG terminal does not support
multi-port specifications, the selection of ports B-E will be ignored.
