![]() The system's MIDI connections, used to perform one of the great party tricks of the MIDI sequencer. The MIDI connections between the system looks as follows: The Drumtraks only requires MIDI clock information from the MSQ700 so it only needs to receive (I normally set the receive channel to 10 just to be safe). After many weeks of phone calls to the ever-helpful and very tolerant Ken McAlpine at Syco Systems, I discovered that my DX7 (I have one of the new models) sends MIDI information only on Channel 1 and the JP6, which has a split keyboard, sends on Channel 1, for the upper keyboard and Channel 2 for the lower keyboard. That's when I discovered the secret of the MIDI channel, and what it will or won't do. Great, so I ve got everything connected to everything else and I'm ready to go. In addition I have a Roland MIDI Thru box which set me back £40, something which I find totally unjustified because Roland could have easily included a Thru port on the JP6 rather than just the In and Out sockets. The set-up is as follows - MSQ700, Yamaha DX7 keyboard, Roland Jupiter 6 keyboard and the SCI Drumtraks drum machine. I use mine as the central 'brain' of a MIDI system. From the top Drumtraks, MSQ700, DX7 and Jupiter 6.Įven though it has the DCB facility, the MSQ700 is still primarily a MIDI sequencer - in other words you'll get the most out of it by using all MIDI equipment.
