If you want to control hardware MIDI devices using the ReMOTE ZeRO SL, connect them to the MIDI OUT ports on the
back of the unit:
It is possible to use the ReMOTE ZeRO 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 ZeRO SL must be powered using batteries or a PSU.
4.5 USING THe ReMOTe ZeRO SL AS A MIDI INTeRFACe
As well as being able to control software and hardware, the ReMOTE ZeRO 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 ZeRO 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:
The ReMOTE ZeRO 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 ZeRO SL where you set how MIDI
data is routed in, out or through the unit.
The ReMOTE ZeRO 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 ZeRO SL where you set how MIDI data is routed in, out or through the unit. Because
there are three virtual USB ports, the ReMOTE ZeRO SL will appear three times in the MIDI input and output device lists in
your software as follows:
