Using the MIDI connectors to transmit/receive
control data—MIDI Control Mode
With the factory settings, the SI-24 will transmit and receive control data via R-BUS.
If you are controlling a MIDI device or a computer that does not have R-BUS, set the
SI-24 to MIDI Control Mode so it will use the MIDI connectors to transmit and
receive control data.
1. Hold down [SYSTEM] and press [6] (MIDI Ctrl) to turn it on (lit).
If [6] (MIDI Ctrl) is on (lit):
MIDI Control Mode is selected. SI-24 control data will be transmitted from
MIDI OUT. If a device is connected to MIDI IN, control data from the
connected device will be received at MIDI IN.
If [6] (MIDI Ctrl) is off (dark):
SI-24 control data and control data from the connected device will be
transmitted and received via R-BUS.
2. To change the setting back, hold down [SYSTEM] once again and press
[6] (MIDI Ctrl).
[6] (MIDI Ctrl) will turn off (go dark).
The signal flow is as follows.
