MIDI DIN Connections
To connect a device with MIDI DIN connectors, you will need one or more MIDI
cables. A MIDI cable is an inexpensive cable that contains a 5-pin DIN connector
on both ends and is available at most music equipment stores. MIDI cables are
available in various lengths from six inches to 20 feet. Use only the length that
you require as excessive length can introduce some delay in the transport of
MIDI data.
To Send MIDI To iConnectMIDI™
To connect a MIDI device that will send out MIDI data, connect one end of the
MIDI cable to the device’s MIDI OUT port (usually located on its back panel).
Then, with the other end of the MIDI cable, connect it to one of iConnectMIDI’s
MIDI In DIN ports on the rear panel (either pair of MIDI1 or MIDI2). Ensure that
the MIDI device is powered up.
Press a key or button that sends MIDI data on your MIDI-enabled device. Then
look at the indicator lights of iConnectMIDI™. The lights for MIDI DIN input
should light up for each key or button press.
To Receive MIDI from iConnectMIDI™
To connect to a device that will receive MIDI data from iConnectMIDI™, connect
one end of the MIDI cable to either MIDI1 or MIDI2 Out port on the rear panel of
iConnectMIDI™. Connect the other end of the MIDI cable to the MIDI IN jack on
the rear of the MIDI instrument.
Note that iConnectMIDI™ will not be the source of MIDI data. The data will
originate from another device connect to iConnectMIDI™, such as a controller,
synthesizer, or DAW software.
