It would have been nice to see a merge facility on a couple of the inputs (for the purposes of sending note on/off data from a keyboard with MIDI clock information from a Drum Machine), but I suppose I'm just being greedy. In short a useful if basic gadget which should make life a lot easier for us.
PRICE KAWAI MIDI PATCHBAY MAV 8 MANUAL
Operating the unit couldn't be simpler (as the single sheet instruction manual would suggest), just select which input needs to go to which output and move the sliders accordingly. It's just a pity that those two sockets weren't duplicated on the rear for those people who intend to plug in and forget all their units, still sacrifices must be made somewhere to keep costs down.
A nice touch as once in a rack you don't really want to fumble round the back in the dark to plug something in. In addition to the sliders, the front panel also sports an on/off pushbutton and two MIDI sockets one each of the INs and OUTs. The sliders form the matrix which routes the right MIDI data stream to the right device(s). You have four independant MIDI INs and eight MIDI OUTs. These numbers correspond to the number of options you have. On the front are eight vertical sliders each having four locking positions. At first glance the unit looks rather like a graphic equaliser. The MAV-8 is a black 1U high 19" rack-mount device (just for a change!). Several companies manufacture such devices at a modest cost, including some of the big boys such as Kawai with the new addition to their MIDI family, the MAV-8. These problems might be okay if you're just dabbling but if you're intending to do anything productive it just isn't good enough.īut this doesn't mean you'll have to sell the kids or worse still the supply of RAM chips you've discovered. Those simple tasks can take up a lot of valuable time in re-wiring not to mention the expense of more MIDI cables - the ones you have won't last long at the rate at which they're being pulled in and out. But wait, what if you want to sync your sequencer to your drum machine, or you wish to use an editor/librarian package which only works with bidirectional communication. Simple enough - surely no need for a patchbay. Now you want to hook up this lot to your computer for sequencing, which involves your synth hooking up to your micro and your micro hooking up to the expander, the effect unit, the drum machine (for clock info) and of course your original synth. Let us suppose you have a typical, basic configuration of synth, drum machine, synth expander and effect unit. You may think that your set-up is too small to warrant a MIDI patch-bay but you'd be surprised. However, you don't need to get to even that stage before MIDI leads start getting swapped around. But as we've discovered at the MM offices it soon snowballs to the point where your living room looks like mission control.
PRICE KAWAI MIDI PATCHBAY MAV 8 SOFTWARE
It's all very easy when starting up with MIDI to think that all you'll need is a synth, a drum machine and some software for your micro.
