[. . . ] E 1 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS · · · · · · Read these instructions. Mains powered apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus. Do not block any ventilation openings, install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. [. . . ] For details, refer to the Korg website. Using a CD-ROM/R/RW Insert the media containing the system file into the CDR/RW drive. Using USB Use a USB cable to connect the D1600mkII to your computer, and copy the system file into the root level of the USB drive (the same location as the KORG folder). 2. In the "SelOperation" field of the [SYSTEM/USB] "DiskUtil" tab page, choose "LoadSystem/C" if you want to load from CD-ROM/R/RW, or "LoadSystem/U" if you want to load from the USB drive. SelOperation 2. The display will ask "AreYouSure?" Press the "Yes" button to begin loading. If the power is turned off while the system is being loaded, the D1600mkII may stop operating correctly. When loading is completed, the D1600mkII will check whether the system file was loaded correctly. If the file was loaded correctly, the display will indicate "Check sum = OK. " If not, the display will indicate "Check sum = NG. " If the display indicates "Check sum = NG, " restart the D1600mkII and load the system file once again. If the "Check sum = NG" message appears again, it is possible that the D1600mkII has malfunctioned. Please contact your Korg distributor. 86 What is MIDI? MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, and is a world-wide standard that allows a variety of musical information to be exchanged between electronic musical instruments and computers. · For more details on the MIDI specifications, refer to the separate MIDI implementation. To obtain the MIDI implementation, please contact your Korg distributor. 1. MIDI connections Special MIDI cables are used to transmit and receive MIDI messages. Connect these cables between the MIDI connectors of the D1600mkII and the MIDI connectors of the external device with which you wish to exchange data. MIDI IN connector: MIDI messages from another MIDI device are received here. MIDI OUT connector: The D1600mkII transmits MIDI messages from this connector. Using MIDI Controlling the D1600mkII from a MIDI sequencer Here's how the MMC messages transmitted from a MIDI sequencer can be used to stop/play/fast-forward/ rewind/record/locate the D1600mkII. These following operations are not possible with a sequencer that does not support MMC. MIDI allows information for multiple MIDI devices to be conveyed over a single MIDI cable by using sixteen MIDI channels, 1­16. If MIDI messages are being transmitted on MIDI channel "1", the messages will not be received unless the receiving device is also set to MIDI channel "1. " Note, aftertouch, velocity, pitch bend: This data is used by the D1600mkII to control effects. Control change: This data is used by the D1600mkII to control mixer parameters. MMC (MIDI Machine Control): MMC messages can be transmitted to control an external sequencer or recorder. MMC messages can also be received to control the D1600mkII from an external sequencer or recorder. MTC (MIDI Time Code): MTC messages can be transmitted to make an external sequencer or recorder operate in synchronization with the D1600mkII. MTC messages can also be received to synchronize the D1600mkII with another device. MIDI Sequencer D1600mkII 2. Make settings on your MIDI sequencer so that it will output MMC messages to control external devices. In the [SYSTEM/USB] "MMC" tab page, set "SelectMMCMode" to "Receive. " 4. [. . . ] However if a problem (such as power failure) occurs and the disc cannot be removed, you can use the following method to remove the disc. Please be aware that excessive use of this method may cause the CD-R/RW drive to malfunction. To use this method, you will need a pin-like object of less than 2 mm diameter, such as a straightened paper clip. Insert this "pin" straight into the manual eject hole, and press. [. . . ]
