Figure 3.3: Single (Modem) Port Connection
Figure 3.3 uses only the Macintosh
Modem port for communicating with the
Studio 4. One external peripheral (such as
a printer) can be connected directly to the
Macintosh Printer port. You can connect
an additional external peripheral (such as
a modem) to the “A THRU” jack on the
Studio 4 and switch it in or out from the
front panel.

Dual Port Connection
Use a dual port connection if you need
increased MIDI “throughput” (for exam-
ple, your MIDI data is densely packed
with notes, continuous controls, System
Exclusive messages and MIDI Time
Code). It’s a good idea to always use a
dual port connection when you’re syn-
chronizing MIDI playback with SMPTE
timecode.

You may connect the Studio 4’s “A” port
to either Macintosh serial port. Similarly,
you may connect the “B” port to either the
Modem or Printer port.

serial ports to the Studio 4, and attach any
connection. Connect both Macintosh
serial ports to the Studio 4, and attach any
external peripherals to the Studio 4 THRU
jacks. You can switch between the
Studio 4 and the external peripherals by
using the corresponding THRU switch on
the front panel.

Two Macintosh computers may share one
Studio 4 by connecting one Macintosh to
the Studio 4 “A” port and connecting the
other Macintosh to the Studio 4 “B” port.

You can also connect two Studio 4’s to two
Macintosh computers as shown in
Figure 3.6. This is an example of a
Studio 4 network. Networking connec-
tions are discussed in the next section.
