INTERFACE
If you are driving other MIDI gear (such as an expander module or MIDI-responsive
signal processor), youÕll usually drive these from the sequencer if it has additional
MIDI outputs. However, you can also use the QuadraSynthÕs MIDI THRU connector
to drive other modules since the Thru carries a replica of what appears at the
QuadraSynthÕs MIDI IN, which is the same as the sequencerÕs MIDI OUT.
About the Keyboard Mode
In a Mix, the QuadraSynthÕs keyboard may be set up in several ways using the
Keyboard Mode parameter found on Page 2 of Global mode. You need to determine
which way is best for your application. The Keyboard Mode parameter determines
how the keyboard will function with regard to MIDI in Mix mode:
¥ The keyboard sends on only one MIDI channel and the sequencer is used to set
the MIDI channel of each track (Keyboard Mode = OUT 1 Ñ OUT 16).
¥ Or, the keyboard is split or layered, sending on many MIDI channels at once, and
the sequencer records each channel onto a different track (FRM MIX).
