Connections

Recording and Playback using an

External MIDI Sequencer

Controlling Another MIDI Device via

MIDI THRU

With the above MIDI connections, you can send MIDI

data from the S08’s MIDI OUT terminal, while

sending MIDI data from the external sequencer to an

external MIDI synthesizer via the S08’s MIDI THRU

terminal.

n MIDI THRU simply relays the MIDI messages received

via MIDI IN.

n The MIDI cable should be no greater than 15 meters in

length, and there should be no more than three devices in

a MIDI chain (chained in series via each unit’s MIDI

THRU). To connect more units, use a MIDI Thru Box

for parallel connections. You may encounter errors if the

MIDI cables are too long or if too many devices are

chained together via their MIDI THRU connectors.

Connecting to a Personal

Computer

You can use a connected computer to control the S08

and to transfer S08 data to/from computer via MIDI.

With the included Voice Editor program, for instance,

you can edit the Voices of the S08.

There are two ways to connect your S08 to a computer:

Depending on your particular computer, the

connections may differ. (See below.)

n You may also want to change the Local On/Off setting

(pages 15 and 67), depending on how you are using the

S08 in your MIDI system.

n You will also need the appropriate MIDI application

(sequencer, editor, etc.), compatible with your computer

platform.

1: USB connection

n The data via the MIDI IN terminal is ignored when using

the USB port (Host Select set to “USB”).

n When connecting the S08 to a computer with a USB

cable, make sure that the USB cable is properly connected

before turning on the power.

Be careful not to turn off the power of the S08 if an

application using the USB/MIDI connection is currently

running.

n The USB connection can only be used for transfer of

MIDI data. No audio data can be transferred via USB.

n Once connected via USB, the S08 begins communication

after a short time.

n Keep in mind that when using Windows 2000/XP, some

operating problems on the computer may occur during

startup. If this happens, try turning on the power of the

S08 only after the computer is properly running.

n When connecting the S08 and your computer via USB,

make sure to connect them directly without routing

through a USB hub.
