NOTE: Before connecting other
MIDI devices, first make sure power
switches for all devices are turned
off and all power cables are
unplugged. Follow all safety and
other relevant instructions as
printed in the owner s manual of the
W5/W7 and other devices.
INTEGRATING INTO
A MIDI SYSTEM
The W5/W7 includes all the basic MIDI features which make it suitable for any
role in an expanded electronic music system as the main keyboard controller at the
heart of the system, or as a powerful support component in the system, or as a
subordinate tone generator.
CONTROLLING OTHER MIDI DEVICES
The diagram below shows one of the simplest systems possible, where the W5/W7 is
the master keyboard controller, and an external tone generator is connected to provide
additional musical instrument sounds.
With this system only a single MIDI cable is required, with one end plugged into the
W5/W7 s MIDI OUT port and the other end plugged into the tone generator s MIDI IN
port. Each device s stereo outputs are plugged into the two channels of an external audio
mixer, which is in turn plugged into a stereo amp and speakers for monitoring.
With this system the W5/W7 can control the other device through MIDI note, control,
program change and other messages, from both its keyboard and controllers as well as on-
board sequencer.
