Controlling MIDI Devices
If you’re using the Lucina AX-09 by itself, there’s no need
for you to have a detailed understanding of MIDI. The
following explanation of MIDI is provided for those who
wish to connect the Lucina AX-09 to other MIDI devices
and control them.
MEMO
MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface,
and is a global standard that allows electronic musical
instruments and computers to exchange performance
data.
“MIDI Implementation Chart” (p. 26) is a chart that
provides an easy way of checking which MIDI messages
the Lucina AX-09 is able to receive. By comparing the
MIDI implementation charts of the Lucina AX-09 and
some other MIDI device, you can see which messages
are compatible between the two devices.
MIDI Messages that can be
Transmitted and Received
The Lucina AX-09 can transmit and receive the following
MIDI messages.
MEMO
The Lucina AX-09 always receives MIDI messages from
the USB COMPUTER connector.

connected external sound module without playing the Lucina AX-09’s own
sounds, you can either disconnect the Lucina AX-09’s OUTPUT jacks, lower the
Lucina AX-09’s volume, or lower the volume of the connected amp or mixer.

cannot be speci ed from the Lucina AX-09, but when you select an internal
tone, that tone’s program change number and bank select data (CC00, CC32;
see the “Tone List” at the end of this manual) will be transmitted according to
the MIDI settings (p. 20).
