MIDI Port Setup
Selecting a Port for MIDI
Message Transfer
To configure MIDI ports for MIDI message transfer, press the
DISPLAY ACCESS [DIO/SETUP] button repeatedly until the
DIO/Setup | MIDI/Host page appears. This page enables you
to set MIDI message input and output.
The following parameters are available on this page:
1 GENERAL section
This section enables you to select ports that transmit and
receive MIDI messages, such as Program Changes and
Control Changes.
•Rx PORT
This parameter specifies a port for general MIDI data
reception. In the left parameter box, select MIDI, USB, or
SLOT. If you select USB or SLOT, specify the port number
(1–8) in the right parameter box.
•Tx PORT
This parameter specifies a port for general MIDI data
transmission. The available ports are the same as for the
Rx PORT parameter.
2 MIDI THRU section
These parameters enable you to route incoming MIDI
data from one port or slot to another without changes.
Select a port for reception in the first parameter box, and
select a port for transmission in the next parameter box
(located to the right of the arrow). If you select USB or
SLOT, specify the port number in the small parameter
box adjacent to the port parameter box.
3 MACHINE CONTROL section
This section enables you to select a remote control
method and a remote control port to control external
devices that support MMC.
•PORT
Select MIDI, USB, or SLOT for MMC command transfer.
If you select USB or SLOT, specify the port number in the
right parameter box.
• DEVICE ID
Specify the 01V96i’s MMC Device ID. MMC Device IDs
identify connected devices, enabling recognition during
MMC transmission and reception.
4 SPECIAL FUNCTIONS section
This section enables you to specify ports for various spe-
cial functions.
•Studio Manager
In the left parameter box, select MIDI, USB or SLOT as
the port used by the included Studio Manager software.
In the two small parameter boxes on the right, specify a
port number (if you selected USB), and an ID number.
•DAW
Select USB or SLOT as a port for use with a DAW. Specify
in the right parameter box a port number pair (1–2, 3–4,
5–6, 7–8).
•REMOTE
This parameter indicates the target currently selected for
Remote Layer. If the target is set to “USER DEFINED,”
you can select a MIDI message destination port.
•CASCADE LINK
This parameter determines whether MIDI messages are
transmitted between two cascaded 01V96is. If you select
MIDI, MIDI messages will be transferred between two
cascaded units. If you select “–,” no MIDI messages are
transferred.
The TRANSMIT and REQUEST buttons are used to syn-
chronize all parameters that are cascade-linked. The
TRANSMIT button synchronizes the connected 01V96i’s
parameters to your primary 01V96i’s parameters. The
REQUEST button synchronizes your 01V96i parameters
to the connected 01V96i’s parameters.
