GPIO Terminal Blocks
Each GPIO input or output has a positive and negative contact that can
be wired as needed. Four of each are provided. Only a small screwdriver is
required.
MIDI In, MIDI Out
Two MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) ports, In and Out, are provided
on the 6416i. Each is capable of transferring any type of MIDI‑compatible
data. Pro64 devices do not process or filter MIDI data in any way.
Both MIDI ports in the VDC section can be used simultaneously.
One MIDI In per Pro64 device can be assigned to a VDC Slot. An unlimited
number of Pro64 modules can make use of the MIDI data by assigning MIDI
Out to the VDC Slot with the same number as the input source.
Configuring a MIDI VDC
To assign a VDC to use the MIDI In port on the 6416i, first select an available
VDC Slot using the inc/dec buttons below the VDC Slot readout. (VDC Slots
with inputs that are currently in use will have the In Use dot lit.) Use the
selector button to choose MIDI In from the Assign Port list. The MIDI In and
Enter/Cancel LEDs will flash. Press the E
ntEr
button to assign the port, or
C
anCEl
to exit.
To output the MIDI data from the 6416i elsewhere in the network, select the
same VDC Slot on the remote Pro64 device. Set the remote device’s VDC type
in the Assign Port list to be MIDI Out. Repeat this step on any other Pro64
module that needs to output the same MIDI data.
