manual abstract
From both connectors in a pair, exactly the same data is transmitted. The data which is sent out from the A-220’s MIDI THRU connector is never affected by settings on the unit; it is simply an exact copy of what originally arrived at a MIDI IN. If the indicator on the FRONT button is lit, the Iront panel MIDI IN connector is active. If it is out, the data arriving at the MIDI IN connector on the rear panel is used. ©FUNCTIONS AND THEIR SETTINGS The various functions offered by your A-220 are introduced in the following, by means of examples. We recommend that you follow the examples, which should help you to learn the steps necessary to achieve the required results.

Channel 2—5 Channel 6—10 (Ex.) You wish to play sound module 1 using the MIDI data on channels 2—5, and have the data on channels 6—10 play sound module 2. Setup : Connect sound module 1 to MIDI OUT A, and sound module 2 to MIDI OUT B. < Other Types of Output Settings > To transmit from both MIDI OUT A and B: Press | A |and | B [simultaneously (confirm that both indicators light). Then make your selection by pressing the appropriate Channel buttons. (As a result, both the A and B OUTPUT Indicators will light.) When you do not want any data to be output from either MIDI OUT A or B : If either OUTPUT button is lit, press it and confirm that the indicator goes out. Then press the desired Channel buttons (the indicators will go out). If both OUTPUT buttons are lit, press either button twice and both indicators will go out. Then press the desired Channel buttons and both indicators (A and B) will go out. 9 GSFUNCTIONS AND THEIR SETTINGS 2. UPPER - LOWER Using a Keyboard Split Into Two Zones * Once in the Edit mode, you can still re-select either A or B if you change your mind about the MIDI OUTs you want for the Upper zone. LOWER UPPER Setup: Connect sound module 1 to MIDI OUT A, and sound module 2 to MIDI OUT B. (D Select the MIDI channel for UPPER - LOWER. Press the relevant Channel button (in the case of the above example, press] 3 I), and confirm that the green NOTE SEPARATE indicator (bottom line) starts blinking. (3) Specify the Split Point by means of a Note message (Note On). (For the above example, you would press the F4 key on your keyboard.) The NOTE SEPARATE indicator will light steadily. * Any MIDI channel can be used when sending the Note message. * The key (Note Number) which acts as the split point is included as part of the Upper zone. ® With the setting for the UPPER - LOWER zones now complete, all you need do Is return to the Play mode: Press | UPPER-LOWER | (its indicator will go out). Now, with UPPER - LOWER set as explained above, everything played on the keyboard's Upper zone will be routed through MIDI OUT B, and what is played on the Lower zone is output from MIDI OUT A. [PROCEDURE] CD Select the Edit mode for UPPER - LOWER as follows: For the above example, press | B | while holding down the I UPPER -LOWER~| (both indicators will light). * The MIDI OUT for the Lower zone will automatically be set as the counterpart of the Upper zone. By the Way... In step © you can set the same Split Point for multiple channels by pressing a number of channel buttons (their NOTE indicators will flash simultaneously). Whenever you do not intend to use UPPER - LOWER (you wish to use channel separation only), hold down I UPPER-LOWER~land press the Channel buttons for the channels you will not be using, thus getting their Note Separate indicators to go out. 10 0] FUNCTIONS AND THEIR SETTINGS 3.
