MIDI data only to outputs 6, 7 and 8. Input 7 routes MMC
to the MIDI Express XT only. Input 8 does a combination
of inputs 6 and 7.
MIDI Machine/for the micro express
This preset provides MIDI data, time code, and MIDI
Machine Control settings for using MIDI Machine
Control between devices without a computer.
Inputs 1-2 are reserved for non-MMC devices being
routed to outputs 1-4, as well as the computer.
Input 3 is also routed to the computer but not to any of the
MIDI outputs.
MIDI outputs 5 and 6 are reserved for MIDI Machine
devices, as these ports are programmed to receive MIDI
Time Code and MMC transport commands from the
micro express.
MIDI inputs 3 and 4 are intended for MMC controller
devices, and they are each programmed slightly differently
to accommodate several different scenarios. Input 3 routes
MMC to the micro express only. Input 4 routes MIDI data
only to output 6.
Direct
This preset causes your Express interface to function like a
simple 1 IN/8 OUT or 1 IN/ 6 OUT MIDI interface,
respectively. All of the extra routing, merging, muting,
rechannelizing, and running status features are disabled.
Your Express interface applies no processing whatsoever
to MIDI data as it is sent to and from the computer. This
mode is referred to as Direct Connect mode through this
manual.
Input 1 connects to the computer, and the computer
connects to all 8 (or 6) outputs. But none of the inputs are
connected directly to the outputs.
This preset can be used effectively to solve problems with
non-standard MIDI data transfers. For example, some
samplers transmit sample dumps in a way that won’t work
