BiPort 2x4s INSTALLATION Installation for Stand-Alone Mode A typical stand-alone system set-up (see Fig. 1) might consist of a BiPort 2x4s, a tape deck, and a hardware MIDI sequencer. This set-up is connected as follows: • The tape recorder Tape (or Sync) Out is connected to the BiPort 2x4s SMPTE In. • The tape recorder Tape (or Sync) In is connected to the BiPort 2x4s SMPTE Out. • The BiPort 2x4s MIDI Out-A is connected to the MTC (or MIDI) In of the MIDI sequencer. In this example, the BiPort 2x4s serves several functions: 1) it synchronizes the MIDI hardware sequencer to the tape recorder by converting the tape recorder’s SMPTE signal into MIDI Time Code for use by the sequencer; 2) it acts as a stand-alone SMPTE striper for writing a SMPTE track to the tape recorder. The BiPort 2x4s’ front panel pushbuttons are used to manually configure and control the BiPort. Before connecting each piece of equipment, it is a good idea to verify that each piece is powered down. After all connections are made, apply power to each device once again. Installation for MIDI Interface Mode A typical MIDI interface system set-up (see Fig. 2) consists of a BiPort 2x4s, a host computer, your sequencing software, a tape deck, a master MIDI keyboard, and additional MIDI sound modules or keyboards. This set-up is connected as follows: • The BiPort 2x4s Host In is connected to the serial port of a host computer, using one of the supplied serial cables. See following sections for more information. • The BiPort 2x4s Mac Thru button is latched in the “out” position so that the BiPort 2x4s may communicate with the host computer. • BiPort 2x4s MIDI In-A is connected to MIDI Out of your MIDI master keyboard. • BiPort 2x4s MIDI Out-A is connected to MIDI In of your MIDI master keyboard. • The tape deck Tape Out (or Sync Out) is connected to the BiPort 2x4s 13
