MIDI device setting
[MIDI THRU] switch setting
MIDI messages from the computer are transmitted to the MIDI device (e.g., MIDI sound
module, digital piano) connected to the UM-1G’s MIDI OUT cable.
* Don’t change the setting of the [MIDI THRU] switch while you’re using the UM-1G. Doing so will
cause MIDI errors.
Testing the MIDI OUT
When you press the [MIDI CHECK] button, a note-on message (note number 64 [E4]) will be
transmitted from the UM-1G’s MIDI OUT cable on all MIDI channels (channels 1–16). If the UM-
1G is connected correctly, the connected MIDI device (e.g., MIDI sound module or digital
piano) will produce sound.
If there is no sound, check the MIDI cable or USB cable connection, and check the settings of
your sound module.
