If you are new to the world of MIDI it can be a little confusing at first - but don't worry, it's really quite easy once you get the hang of it! Here's a great PDF booklet from the MIDI Manufacturer's Association explaining exactly what MIDI is and how it works: https://www.midi.org/images/easyblo...
They are actually labeled correctly but this is a surprisingly common question because the way MIDI In and MIDI Out work can be confusing if you are not used to it. MIDI signals can only flow in one direction at a time on a DIN-MIDI cable - each cable is a one-way street. The terms MIDI In and Ou...
You can view the spreadsheet we use to set up and test our default MIDI routing here: MIDI Patchbay Default Routing Notes: Click on the tab at the bottom of the screen to select the interface you want to check All MIDI ports are always connected to your DAW's USB ports. On most of our ...
Many of the iConnectivity interfaces feature a USB-MIDI Host port which can be used to connect up to 10 USB-MIDI controller keyboards and USB-MIDI modules. But the Host port can also be used to connect 2 iConnectivity interfaces together to expand your system! To make an ad hoc network like th...
Point-to-point connections vs. Network connections Musicians are used to using a cable to connect one piece of hardware directly to another: for example a cable that connects your guitar to your amp, or a cable that connects your microphone to your audio interface. This is what we call a poi...
Introduction All current iConnectivity interfaces with Ethernet ports are able to address up to 4 virtual MIDI ports each using RTP-MIDI over Ethernet - that's 4 unique ports per interface. However many of our interfaces have more external DIN-MIDI ports and USB-MIDI Host ports than there are avail...
In most cases setting up an RTP-MIDI network with Ethernet should be relatively straightforward - see the article: How do I use MIDI over Ethernet or Wi-fi? for full instructions. However in case you are having a problem here are a few troubleshooting tips... First thing to check are the phys...
"Be the Ball" A common phrase heard in coaching movies and now a way to look at filtering in iConfig: Be the interface. Taking the view of the interface when looking at the left column in the MIDI Routing, MIDI Filtering, MIDI Remapping in iConfig is the best way to understand what data you are c...
We support MIDI Time Stamp on reception (incoming data) while using RTP-MIDI over Ethernet. However our USB-MIDI ports require the use of class compliant USB-MIDI which cannot support MIDI Time Stamp.
There are 2 sets of traditional IN/OUT 5-pin MIDI DIN connectors on the back of the iCM2 labelled: MIDI 1 & MIDI 2. Each USB Device Jack on the iConnectMIDI2+ also has 4 virtual MIDI ports. Operation with iPad Assuming that an iPad, or other iOS device is connected to USB 1 on the iConnec...
The MIDI specification outlines an optional standard for supplying a form of "phantom power" over standard DIN-MIDI plugs. Very few devices take advantage of this option, however there are still some relatively rare MIDI devices that do require power over MIDI this way. Early versions of iConnect...
When most people think of MIDI they think of these things: DIN jacks. Each pair of DIN-MIDI sockets like these is one MIDI port and each port can carry up to 16 MIDI channels. Of course you can stack up more ports easily - for example the iConnectivity mio4 has 4 sets of DIN-MIDI ports, each with...
About mio X-Series Host Ports The mio X-Series interfaces (mioXM and mioXL) have multiple USB-MIDI Host Ports for hosting additional USB-MIDI devices (for example: a keyboard controller with USB) on USB A-type connectors. Internally, your mioX interface then routes MIDI data between your hosted devic...
There are a few reasons why your interface might not show up. Remember to always check connections and cables first. If your interface is showing up in (MacOS) MIDI Studio's Network settings but not displayed in Auracle, it might be due to your network priority. Here's how to change this option. Go t...
Initiators vs. Responders Every network session has an Initiator and a Responder. The Initiator is responsible for initiating the connection to a Responder; it searches for the proper responding device (hardware interface or computer network session) and once located, negotiates and makes the connect...
