MIDI Port I/O Programming
Reset
The command byte 0FFh is used to reset the MPU-401 interface.
After resetting the
interface, a
Command Acknowledge
byte, 0FEh, should be read back from the Data
port.
This mechanism can also be used to detect the existence of the MPU-401 interface.
After an interface reset, the data read in from the Data port should be verified to be
0FEh.
If this fails, either the MPU-401 is not installed, or it does not exist at that I/O
address.

mov
