MIDI Test
003 includes a MIDI loopback test to check
MIDI input and output connections. A standard
5-pin MIDI cable is required.
To test MIDI input and output connections:
1 On the back of the 003, connect a standard 5-
pin MIDI cable from the MIDI In port to the
MIDI Out 1.
2 Enter Utility mode. If the Utility switch is not
enabled (flashing), press it.
3 Select the Test menu by pressing the flashing
Insert switch.
The LCD shows the first page of Utility tests.
4 Press the ESC switch to toggle to the second
page of Utility tests.
5 Start the “MIDI” test by pressing the flashing
Dynamics switch.
6 Press the EQ switch to begin testing MIDI Out
1.
If data is received on the MIDI jack, the LCD
shows “Pass.” If DATA is not received, the LCD
shows “Fail.”
7 Connect a standard 5-pin MIDI cable from the
MIDI In port to the MIDI Out 2 and repeat the
test to check MIDI Out 2.
8 When finished, press the flashing Display
switch.
Audio Test
003 includes audio loopback tests (see “Routing
Path for Audio Tests” on page 118) to check var-
ious audio connections. For each test, a valid au-
dio source and external sound system must be
set up for the specific inputs or outputs being
tested. See “Making Studio Connections” on
page 61 for information on connecting devices.
Cables corresponding to each connector type
are required. See “003 and 003 Rack Back Pan-
els” on page 55 for cabling requirements for
each connector.
When testing a digital input, the digital source
must be connected to one of the 003 digital out-
puts and the source must be configured to clock
to the 003 digital output.
All tests run at 44.1 kHz.
