Doepfer R2M Midi-Ribbon-Controller - Manual (Page 7)

R2M User's Guide V1.11 Page 7
This function can be used to modify Midi data with the R2M (e.g. adding pitch bend to
note messages on the same Midi channel).
If the arpeggiator is on the Midi merging function is not working. Incoming data on
other Midi channels than the currently selected R2M Midi channel are not merged !
The Midi input of R2M is not suitable for large amounts of Midi data (e.g. SysEx
strings or Midi messages coming from an computer sequencer) but only for small
data rates, e.g. the note on/off messages of a controlling keyboard. In case of large
amounts of incoming Midi messages data loss or delay may occur. Same applies for
Midi messages that do not match the R2M Midi channel.
If the transpose function, the arpeggiator or the merging of R2M Midi data to
incoming channel voice messages is not used the Midi Input of the R2M is left open.
Operation
R2M is switched on by plugging the AC adapter into a wall outlet and connecting it to
the appropriate power supply socket n. There is no separate ON/OFF switch.
