MIDI INPUT
This 5-Pin female DIN jack accepts standard 5-Pin MIDI cables and passes all incoming MIDI messages to the
MARK VII’s processor for interpretation. Whether from a MIDI foot controller, Sequencer, Librarian Software, or
DAW, all MIDI messages sent to the MARK VII will be received here, and, if pertinent, appropriate action will be
taken by its processor. The MARK VII can respond to MIDI Program Change and Control Change messages,
and all MIDI messages are passed on via the MIDI THRU/OUT jack.
NOTE: Do not connect a Footswitch to the MESA FTSW jack when using the MIDI INPUT jack!!
MIDI THRU/OUT
This 5-Pin female DIN jack accepts standard 5-Pin MIDI cables and passes all incoming MIDI messages re-
ceived via the MARK VII’s MIDI INPUT jack, unchanged, on to other MIDI devices. It also serves as the MIDI
OUTPUT for a User Presets Dump and any other MIDI messages that originate from the MARK VII.
MIDI CHANNEL SELECT
This 16-position rotary switch is used to select the MIDI Channel on which MIDI messages must be received
to be valid. The STORE LED flashes once whenever the position of the MIDI CHANNEL SELECT SWITCH is
changed.
