MIDI Connections
When using the JV-1080 for sequencing it is important to have all MIDI connections properly setup so that the sequencer and sound module can communicate. Use the following procedure to connect your MIDI cables:
1. Connect a MIDI cable from MIDI OUT of your keyboard controller to MIDI IN of the sequencer/MIDI interface.
2. Connect a MIDI cable from MIDI OUT of your sequencer/MIDI interface to MIDI IN of the JV-1080.
3. Be sure the “MIDI Thru” function (also known as “Soft Thru” or “MIDI Echo”) is set to “on” or enabled in your sequencer/software.
