4.3 Status display
In effect mode, the display of the PowerMate shows the
status information of the DIGITAL AUDIO INTERFACE.
4.4 PC-MIDI-Interface
The PowerMate provides a full-featured PC-MIDI inter-
face. So, when you use an appropriate software applica-
tion to send MIDI data from the PC/Mac to the DIGITAL
AUDIO INTERFACE, the MIDI data is present at the MIDI
OUT jack on the rear of the PowerMate.
Vice versa, all MIDI data input via the MIDI IN jack are
passed through to the PC, for instance to be recorded
using a sequencer software application.
Keep in mind that the control data for the integrated
effects units, that for example can be remotely controlled
via MIDI footswitch, are transmitted to the PC as well.
Data error interpretation can be avoided through careful
selection of suitable MIDI channels, see also “FX Control
Setup” on page 30.
HINT: For sending MIDI data from your PC to the Pow-
erMate, open the Sounds and Audio Devices
Properties in the Windows Control Panel.
Select DYNACORD USB-MIDI as Default Device
for MIDI music playback.
