7. MIDI USAGE

The DIN 5 (180º) MIDI OUT connector allows you to control external devices using MIDI protocol.
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard protocol for communication between electronic
musical instruments and computers. MIDI devices can work as Slave (controlled) or Master (controls) units. The
MOSC FX works as a Master MIDI unit which means it can control other electronic musical instruments
(Synthetisers, Sequencers, Drum Machines etc ... even Light Controllers).
The MIDI functions of the MOSC FX are "System Messages" with no specific MIDI channel assigned.
Via its MIDI OUT, the MOSC FX sends a continuous synchronization code called MIDI Clock which can
synchronize the external(s) MIDI device(s). The MOSC FX MIDI Clock signal follows the BPM value (Beat Per
Minute) calculated by the internal BPM Processor. To control the external(s) MIDI device(s), remember to set it first
as a "Slave" unit (External Clock set-up).
The MOSC FX can also send MIDI START and MIDI STOP orders to external(s) MIDI device(s) which
allows you to "launch" and "stop" sequences of external(s) MIDI device(s). The MIDI START and MIDI STOP
orders are controlled by the EFFECT Knob (Push): each time you push the EFFECT Knob, the MIDI OUT sends a
MIDI START ("Activate SELECT") or "MIDI STOP" ("Deactivate SELECT").
The MIDI Functions are disabled when the MOSC FX gets under "PC MODE".

8. FURTHER CONSIDERATIONS

8.1. Cleaning

The front panel should not be cleaned with dissolvent or abrasive substances because silk-printing could
be damaged. To clean it, use a soft cloth slightly wet with water and neutral liquid soap; dry it with a clean cloth. Be
careful that water never gets into the unit through the holes of the front panel.
