Signal flow of audio and MIDI data via an IEEE1394
cable
The illustration below shows the flow of audio signals and MIDI
messages when connecting the MOTIF-RACK XS and a
computer via an IEEE1394 cable.
MIDI transmission/reception (*1)
Setting the port on the MOTIF-RACK XS is not necessary since
the MIDI Port of the MOTIF-RACK XS is automatically fixed
according to the application. For information on which port
should be selected on your computer, refer to the section “MIDI
channels and MIDI ports” on page 18.
Audio signal transmission
■
mLAN OUT 1 – 14 (*2)
Audio signals are output via mLAN OUT 1 – 14 when the MOTIF-
RACK XS “Output Select” parameter is set to any of the settings
“m1&2” – “m13&14” and “m1” – “m14” in one of the following
displays.
The output destination of audio input signal from the mLAN terminal
The output destination of each Multi’s audio signal
The output destination of each Key’s audio signal in the Drum Voice
n The audio signal of a Normal Voice in the Voice mode is always output from
both the mLAN OUT L/R and OUTPUT L/MONO, R terminals. The signal
cannot be output from mLAN OUT 1 – 14.
■
mLAN OUT L/R (*3)
The audio signal is output via both the OUTPUT L/MONO, R
terminals and mLAN OUT L/R when the “Output Select”
parameter described at left (mLAN OUT 1 –14) is set to “L&R.”
Audio signal reception (*4)
The mLAN IN Main Out Monitor L/R and mLAN IN Assignable
Out Monitor L/R are available as well as the mLAN IN L/R as the
mLAN audio input channel of the MOTIF-RACK XS. These
channels can be used for monitoring the sound when using the
DAW software on the computer. The audio signal received via
the mLAN IN Main Out Monitor L/R will be output via the
OUTPUT L/R jacks while the audio signal received via the mLAN
IN Assignable Out Monitor L/R will be output via the
ASSIGNABLE OUTPUT L/R jacks. Setting the audio output
channel on the computer determines which channel is used. As
for audio signals received via the mLAN terminal, parameters
such as volume and output channel can be applied as the
mLAN audio input part of the MOTIF-RACK XS. The display of
these parameter settings differs depending on the mode, as
listed below.
