Informations About Midi Interface - Viscount Vivace Mode D'emploi

RIGHT-HAND SIDE PANEL
1. GENERAL PITCH: allows fine adjustment of the tuning of the entire instrument. On delivery, the organ has been
tuned by the manufacturer to A=440Hz (pitch knob in central position).
2. PEDAL: regulates the fine tuning of the Pedalboard
3. MAN. II: regulates the fine tuning of the Swell.
These controls can be adjusted to obtain more or less pronounced ensemble effects, depending on the level of the
pulsation generated when the tuning of the different sections is varied slightly.

7. INFORMATIONS ABOUT MIDI INTERFACE

MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. This interface allows electronic instruments, even of different
makes and types, to dialogue with each other or with a computer, in order to exchange a large number of items of
information by means of a clearly defined, detailed protocol of codes. This allows different functions to be obtained
from the connected machines, without necessarily having to touch them at all.
Electronic musical instruments equipped with MIDI interface have one or more DIN 5 pin connectors which are the
MIDI connectors. There are normally three MIDI connectors, as follows:
- MIDI IN: Connector through which the machine receives the MIDI data emitted by other units
- MIDI OUT: Connector through which the machine emits the MIDI data it has generated
- MIDI THRU: Used for series connection of a number of receiver units, this connector emits the MIDI data
exactly as they are received by the MIDI IN port.
In the Vivace organ, these connectors are located in the connection panel on the left under the first manual.
Transmission and reception of MIDI data are subdivided into channels, so that given one transmitter unit, of all the
receiver units connected, only the one tuned to the transmitter channel will respond.
The MIDI protocol includes 16 channels, so given one transmitter instrument, separate control of up to 16 instruments
connected to it is possible. When the MIDI transmission channel is selected, we will connect only to the unit with the
same receiver channel.
Naturally, if two MIDI units are tuned to different channels they are unable to exchange data.
The Vivace organ is equipped with a MIDI interface which can be BIPHONIC, meaning that every single manual is
able to transmit and receive on 2 indipendent MIDI channels, one BASE channel and one auxiliary channel (called
A).
MIDI A channel of each section can be activated or disactivated through the register tabs indicated in the table.
