If you want to control hardware MIDI devices using the ReMOTE SL, connect them to the MIDI OUT ports on the back
of the unit:
Sound Module 1
Midi cable
Midi In
Midi Out 1
It is possible to use the ReMOTE SL to control hardware MIDI devices in this way without it being connected to a computer.
However, if there is no USB connection, the ReMOTE SL must be powered using batteries or a PSU.
4.5 USING THE REMOTE SL AS A MIDI INTERFACE
As well as being able to control software and hardware, the ReMOTE SL can be used as a MIDI interface, i.e. it can route
MIDI data between your computer and hardware MIDI devices. For this, the ReMOTE SL must be connected to your
computer via USB and to your hardware MIDI devices via the MIDI connectors on the back of the unit:
Sound Module 1
Midi cable
USB cable
Midi In
Midi Out
USB port
Midi Out 1
Midi In
Computer
The ReMOTE SL has two physical MIDI ports. Port 1 has IN, OUT and THRU connectors and port 2 has an OUT connector
only. These ports are labelled as M1 and M2 in the menus on the ReMOTE SL where you set how MIDI data is routed in,
out or through the unit.
The ReMOTE SL has a further three virtual ports over the USB connection. These ports are labelled as U1, U2 and U3 in
the menus on the ReMOTE SL where you set how MIDI data is routed in, out or through the unit. Because there are three
virtual USB ports, the ReMOTE SL will appear three times in the MIDI input and output device lists in your software as
follows:
ReMOTE SL Port 1
ReMOTE SL Port 2
ReMOTE SL Port 3
