Panel Description MPU-IMC CPU Card ■ MIDI and MPU-IMC There are various ways of producing music by using computers. For example, a computer may play music data with its own sound source, and a robot may play the keyboard instead of a man. The most common method of creating computer music, however, is playing the electronic musical instruments featuring MIDI by a host computer. MID! (Musical Instruments Digital Interface) is an international standard for digitally communicating musical information (e.g. pressing keys, using bender, etc.). MIDI Processing Unit MPU-IMC is an interface for a computer and MIDI instruments (sound source). The signals used by computers and MIDI devices are both digital but totally different languages like English and Japanese. The MPU-IMC is a micro computer that works as an interpreter of a computer and MIDI sound modules, allowing the host computer to concentrate specifically on the music. 2603027100 90-9-B3-21N ■ Compatible Models The MPU-IMC is compatible with the following computers which incorporate IBM Micro Channel Architecture: IBM PS/2 Models 50, 50Z, 55, 60, 70, P70, and 80 * IBM is a trademark of the International Business Machines Corporation. * Personal System/2, Personal System/55, and Micro Channel are trademarks of the International Business Machines Corporation. ■ Supplied Diskette Contained within the supplied 3.5 inch diskette are the Adapter Description Files necessary for configuring the computer so it recognizes the MPU-IMC.

The protect tab on the diskette should be at the "off" position. © From the menu select "Copy an option diskette." (3) Copy onto the Reference Diskette the ADF (Adapter Description Filejfrom the diskette supplied with the MPU-IMC. @ Turn power off, then insert the MPU-IMC CPU card into the slot. © If you select "Y" the MPU-IMC CPU card will be readied for use. * For details, refer to "Quick Reference", supplied with the computer. © Take the cable coming from the connector box and connect it to the connector on the CPU card's rear panel. After making the connection, fasten it securely in place using the two screws. © Once again, using the Reference Diskette, boot the computer. The "Adapter Error" screen will appear, and you will see the prompt, "Automatically Configure the system? (Y/N)." Apart from the function as an interpreter, the MPU-IMC features the following functions. a. MIDI Clock Output The MPU-IMC sends out MIDI clock for synchronization with a rhythm machine through the MIDI OUT Connector. b. Tape Sync Function For multitrack recording, the TAPE IN and OUT Connectors can be used to synchronize the first recorded sound with the later recorded one. c. Metronome Function Metronome sound can be obtained in the tempo and time set with the computer. This is extremely useful for recording the music played on the keyboard into the computer. If you find the metronome sound too small, connect a monitor amplifier to the Metronome Out Jack. NOTE The function of the MPU-IMC available differs depending on the software used. Please read the instructions of each software. Also, for technical details of the MPU-IMC, read the 401 Technical Reference Manual (optional). ■ Important notes [Concerning the power supply] • Whenever you make any connections with other devices, always turn off the power to all equipment first. This will help in preventing malfunciton, and damage to speakers. [Concerning placement] • Avoid using or storing the unit in the following places, as damage could result, o Places subject to extremes in temperature. (Such as under direct sunlight, near heating units, above equipment generating heat, etc.) o Places near water and moisture. (Baths, washrooms, wet floors, etc.) Places otherwise subject to high humidity, o Dusty environments, o Places where high levels of vibration are produced. • Placing the unit near power amplifiers or other equipment containing large transformers may induce hum. • Should the unit be operated nearby television or radio receives, TV pictures may signs of interference, and static might be heard on radios. In such cases, move the unit out o...
