So if you connect a MIDI cable between two devices, a device listening on channel 1 won’t respond to any messages assigned to channels 2-16. MIDI messages are assigned a “channel” between 1 and 16. The computer requests data the module sends it the computer sends more data. From the computer OUT to the module IN and also from the module OUT to the computer IN. We had PC software that allowed us to perform patch librarian tasks using MIDI (called System Exclusive or SYSEX) on many of the devices but it requires bi-directional data transfer between the sound module and the computer, and signals in a single MIDI cable only go one way: You need two cables connecting the In and Out ports. Shortly after that, we found a Roland MIDI Interface (MPU-401?) for our PC, and started recording MIDI sequences into a copy of Passport Software’s Master Tracks Pro. Also, you could send notes from the Jupiter to the Akai devices over MIDI, so long as you set the rack to listen on MIDI Channel 1 or 2. It was soon followed by an Akai sampling keyboard and synthesizer rack module, which worked very well together when connected with MIDI cables. It had some DIN ports – In and Out – on the back for something called MIDI. It certainly wasn’t the first piece of kit I ever bought – that honor goes to a second-hand Roland Jupiter 6 back in 1988. I can not remember when I acquired the Roland A-880 MIDI Patch Bay. Kenton says that the Interchanger is still in development, so details on pricing and availability are to be announced.Fig 1. Multiple units can be linked together for an expanded routing matrix.Has a dedicated 3-digit LED display showing the current scene number for easy visibility.As part of a scene, the Interchanger can send out MIDI program changes and bank select messages for each channel on each port. Can store and recall 255 patches, as well as 255 scenes. ![]() Fully programmable on the unit itself, although a remote editor program is planned as well.Multiple operations can be chained at each intersection on the routing matrix – including MIDI merging, filtering, scaling, transposition and message transformation.16×16 internal routing matrix (8x DIN I/O, 4x USB host, 4x USB device) – any combination of inputs can be routed to any combination of outputs.4x inputs and outputs that can be used as sources and destinations in the routing matrix.USB ‘device’ port to allow the Interchanger to be connected to a computer, where it appears as. ![]()
