If you want to connect a piece of equipment not usually present in the MIDI Studio, use port 15. The Disklavier and Wavedrum are not permanently connected to the Studio 5 and must be patched on the front panel with MIDI cables. When these definitions are changed, everyone using the studio will be affected. These assignments should never be changed: if you need help seek assistance from staff. Users are NOT allowed to change the MIDI Studio Setup document.

The port numbers should not be confused with MIDI channels: they are device connection numbers unrelated to MIDI.Ĭurrent MIDI studio setup Port Device 1 Yamaha KX-88 controllerĦ Korg Wavestation A/D synthesizer module Via the Studio 5, the controller can be connected to any of the synthesizers and modules with or without the computer. There is a Yamaha KX-88 weighted-key controller and lots of synthesizers and sound modules. The MIDI part of the studio is organized around a PowerMac 8600 computer and an Opcode Studio 5 MIDI interface/MIDI patcher. If you are unsure of the OMS system, please seek assistance from staff before attempting to alter any of the OMS setup parameters. This requires an option for non-Opcode programs: the Patchbay program allows MIDI connections to be made for such programs.

The OMS environment is intended to be consistent for all Opcode programs, however software from other vendors (Finale, for example) cannot always work with the OMS environment. Existing patches should not be altered by users, however new patches may be created. Patches for common studio configurations are already programmed.

Midi patchbay necessary Patch#

Each patch connects certain configurations of devices for example, KX-88 controller plays Wavestation AD and Proteus. Individual MIDI connections are called patches and are stored in the patch documents. If it is changed, the MIDI connections will not work properly. This document should never be altered by users. The OMS Setup program determines the studio device MIDI connections via a document called Current Studio Setup. The Opcode MIDI System integrates the MIDI software and hardware environment. In order to understand and use the MIDI Studio, it is necessary to learn the Opcode MIDI environment. The Studio 5 allows programmable MIDI connections between devices without computer intervention as well as connecting everything to the Mac. Each MIDI device is assigned a port number on the interface, making it accessible by name from the sequencer and librarian program. The Opcode Studio 5 MIDI interface allows MIDI devices to be recognized by software including sequencer (Studio Vision Pro) and editor/librarian (Galaxy Plus).

The MIDI Studio is based on Opcode's OMS system, which combines software and hardware into an integrated environment.
