Example 4:
Master-slave configuration with 3 slaves, using a
MIDI Thru box.
Example 6:
Computer-controlled system with MIDI Merger.
The computer sends data to both MPE’s. The
MIDI OUT of each MPE is merged and returned to
the computer’s MIDI IN. In this system, the com-
puter can establish two-way communication with
both MPE’s. With a Merger capable of more than
two MIDI IN’s, more MPE’s could be supported.
The computer could also be a MIDI sequencer or
other MIDI system controller.
This setup is similar to example 3, with the addi-
tion of a MIDI Thru box to increase the number of
possible slaves. Although only three slaves are
shown, any number may be used (limited by the
number of outputs on the MIDI Thru box).
Example 5:
Remote wall switch control of program changes.
The RWS 4 is a simple 4 position switch that
sends contact closures to the RPS 4. Contact clo-
sures are converted to MIDI program change com-
mands. This configuration allows MIDI programs 1-
4 to be remotely activated, while the MPE remains
in Lockout Mode. See page 18 for RPS 4 details.
