BNC Output (Studio 1824 only). This connection allows the Studio 1824 to transmit
word clock to other digital audio devices so that it can function as the master clock
for your studio environment (recommended).
MIDI Input and Output. MIDI stands for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface.” MIDI
inputs and outputs allow connection to, and communication with, external MIDI
equipment. One function of these ports is MIDI sequencing, but the MIDI protocol
can be used for much more than instruments and sequencing.
Power User Tip: MIDI is not audio but is frequently used to trigger or control an audio
source (such as a plug-in or synthesizer). It’s important to ensure that your MIDI data is
correctly sent and received by the appropriate hardware or software devices. If the devices
generate audio, you may also need to return the audio to a Studio-series interface input
channel. Please consult the User Manuals of your MIDI devices for help with MIDI setup
and usage.
