When using a sync cable, all of the pins of the cable must be wired. 
Some MIDI cables do not have connections between all the pins, and 
thus cannot be used as sync cables. 
 
 
 
MIDI Expander Mode
 
 
The Acidlab Miami can also be controlled using MIDI Note Data. 
To use the Miami in Midi Expander Mode, switch off the Miami using the On-
Off slide switch on the right side of the rear panel. Now hold the the 
Write/Next [Midi Expander] button and switch the Miami back on with the On-
Off slide switch. 
You can see that you are in MIDI Expander Mode when all 4 Scale LEDs 
are illuminated. 
 
Repeat the same process to resume using the internal sequencer! 
By pressing the Instr./Select button and the Write/Next [MIDI Expander] button 
simultaneously, the Midi-Learn-Mode is activated and will be indicated by a 
blinking LED above the Write/Next [MIDI Expander] button. 
The first received midi-note sets the midi-channel (1-16) and the LED stops 
blinking. The midi-channel will be saved untill a new Midi-Learn-Mode is 
activated. 
 
The following MIDI Notes are used to play the Miami’s instruments: 
 
 
36 -> Bassdrum

40 -> High Tom 
41 -> Rimshot or Clave 
42 -> Handclap or Maracas 
43 -> Cowbell 
44 -> Cymbal 
45 -> Open Hihat

Velocity values > 100 will put an accent on the instruments.
