About MIDI
Connecting MIDI devices
By connecting the ODYSSEY to a computer or external MIDI sequencer, you can
control the sound generator of the ODYSSEY from an external device.
Use a commercially available MIDI cable to connect the ODYSSEY's MIDI IN connector
to the MIDI OUT connector of your external MIDI device (see "Connections" on page
14).
MIDI IN connector: This receives MIDI messages from other MIDI devices. Connect
this connector to the MIDI OUT connector of the other device.
Note messages (velocity is ignored) are the only type of MIDI messages that the
ODYSSEY can receive via its MIDI IN connector. The range of notes that can be
received is 012 (C0) – 127 (G9).
MIDI channel
MIDI has sixteen channels, 1 – 16.
If you connect an external MIDI device, you must set the MIDI channel of the
ODYSSEY to match the MIDI channel of your external MIDI device.
