Anleitung Zusammenfassung
After using these connectors to link with other units, you will be able to pick a device that you wish to be in control, and use it to control the others. You can then not only get the other equipment to play, you can also cause it to switch through its sounds. About the MIDI Connectors There are three types of MIDI connectors. Each of them functions differently, as explained below. MIDI OUT Connector Transmits to an external unit's MIDI connector all the information originating on this unit (such as data describing what you are playing). MIDI IN Connector Receives the MIDI messages which arrive from an external MIDI device. Whenever a piece of equipment receives MIDI messages in this way, it will comply by playing specific notes, changing to a different sound, or otherwise do whatever it is that the messages request. MIDI THRU Connector Passes on (without change) the same stream of messages that have been flowing in at MIDI IN. The HP 1900G is equipped with two of the above types of MIDI connectors (MIDI IN and MIDI OUT). Look at the example below, then connect MIDI cables between the appropriate MIDI connectors when you want to have this instrument communicate with some other piece of equipment. Other MIDI üevii It is not always necessary to connect two MIDI cables. You should alter the above configuration to match your intentions.
