MIDI SETTING
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard code for interchange of data between musical instru-
ments. The principal advantage of MIDI lies in the possibility of connecting different instruments by means of
simple IN-OUT-THRU connections, permitting a reciprocal exchange of information. The information exchanged
via MIDI concerns the primary operations carried out by the instruments. In practice, it is possible to "play"
another MIDI compatible instrument by means of the organ keyboards, or vice-versa. Connecting, for example,
the organ MIDI OUT socket to the MIDI IN socket of another instrument, it is possible to play both instruments
by means of the organ keyboards and pedalboard. The MIDI THRU socket enables more than two instruments to
be connected with one another, utilizing the first as principal transmitter. Two complete MIDI sockets (IN-OUT-
THRU), which can be monitored independently, are available in the instrument. It is suggested to use the MIDI
2 socket for the installation of equipment to be connected permanently to the organ (i.e.: in combination with
a pipe organ or with a classic organ Archive Module). The MIDI control (see SYSTEM PANEL N.2) offers the pos-
sibility to select, activate and deactivate the MIDI channels assigned to each organ section, separating all enter-
ing settings (MIDI IN) from exiting settings (MIDI OUT). It is also possible to select the use of the INTERNAL or
EXTERNAL CLOCK in case of a connection of the organ via MIDI with an external Sequencer.
