MIDI CONTROL The SPX990 is equipped with MIDI terminals that allow connection to an external MIDI device for MIDIcontrolled program selection, parameter setting and other operations. MIDI stands for "Musical Instrument Digital Interface", the data communication standard for electronic instruments and audio equipment. To use MIDI control you must connect the unit to the MIDI terminal of another MIDI device (keyboard, etc.) and set the MIDI parameters accordingly. Also refer to the owner's manual of the other MIDI device. MIDI TERMINALS SPX 990 MIDI Terminals x ■ i ts %YAWNS Is mews WE MIK C. we MIDI IN This terminal enables the SPX990 to receive MIDI information. To receive data it must be connected to the MIDI OUT terminal of another MIDI device. MIDI OUT/THRU This terminal functions either as a MIDI OUT jack or as a MIDI THRU jack, depending on the setting of the MIDI OUT/FHRU switch. Connect this terminal to the MIDI IN terminal of another MIDI device. MIDI OUT When the MIDI OUT/THRU switch is set to OUT, you can bulk dump effect program data or program change table data of the SPX990 to an external MIDI device. MIDI THRU When the MIDI OUT/THRU switch is set to THRU, the terminal outputs the information received from other MIDI devices via the MIDI IN terminal. MIDI OPERATIONS The following operations are possible using MIDI control: ■ Program Change The effect programs of the SPX990 can be changed (recalled) by sending program change messages from another MIDI device. When you select a voice on a connected MIDI keyboard, a corresponding program change number is automatically transmitted which will recall a program on the SPX990. MIDI keyboard, sequencer MIDI foot controller, etc. MIDI OUT SPX990 MIDI IN Using the MIDI OUT/THRU terminal of the SPX990 you can retransmit these messages to control other MIDI devices (if you use several SPX990 in a chain, for example). Preparations: • Match the MIDI transmit channel of the external MIDI device to the MIDI receive channel of the SPX990 bank to be used. (Refer to MIDI PROGRAM CHANGE TABLE SETUP on page 55.) • Assign the memory numbers (U01 - U99, U00, COI - C99, COO, ---, P01 - P80) to be used to individual program change numbers (PGM1 - 128). (Refer to MIDI PROGRAM CHANGE TABLE SETUP on page 55.) • Select the desired bank. (Refer to MIDI PROGRAM CHANGE TABLE SETUP on page 55.) • If you want to re-transmit the program change messages received via MIDI IN to another unit, connect it to the MIDI OUT/THRU terminal of the SPX990 and set the MIDI OUT/ THRU switch to THRU. 52
