5.4 MIDI connections
The MIDI standard was developed in the early 1980s to allow electronic musical instruments from different
manufacturers to communicate with each other. The use of MIDI has developed over the intervening years to
the stage where it is now common to find complete recording studios operating entirely on a MIDI basis. The
centerpiece in such a studio is usually a computer running a sequencer software which not only controls
various keyboards, samplers and sound modules, but can also run the programming of outboard effect devices,
typically digital reverberation and delay units. The FEEDBACKDESTROYERPRO may be controlled in real
time in this studio environment.
+ MIDI for Musical Instruments Digital Interface.
The MIDI connectors found on the rear panel are of the universally used 5 pin DIN type. You require suitable
MIDI cables to connect the FEEDBACKDESTROYERPRO to other MIDI devices. Normally complete cables
will be purchased for this use, you can of course make your own, using a high quality cable with two cores and
shielding (like microphone cable), with as connectors two good 180 degree DIN plugs. Pin 2 (center) is con-
nected to the cables shield, pins 4 and 5 (left and right next to 2) carry the two cores, pins 1 and 3 are not
used. MIDI cables should have a maximum length not exceeding 45 feet.
