21.3 MIDI
The MADIface XT offers one MIDI I/O via 5-pin DIN connectors. The MIDI port is added to the
system by the driver. Using MIDI capable software, the port can be accessed under the name
MADI MIDI.
The three software-only MIDI ports receive and transmit MIDI data via MADI. MIDI data can be
transmitted from/to other RME devices with MADI ports, without any additional line or cabling
between computer (MADI card) and external units.
The MIDI ports support multi-client operation. A MIDI input signal can be received from several
programs at the same time. Even the MIDI outputs can be used by multiple programs simulta-
neously. However, due to the limited bandwidth of MIDI, this kind of application will often show
various problems.
