Use only one computer at a time to initiate
actions that change a Studio 4’s internal

COMPUTER CONNECTIONS—
NETWORKING
NETWORKING
A network is defined as the connection of
one or two Studio 4's to a single Macin-
tosh serial port. The Macintosh has two
serial ports, so it can support two net-
works. Since each network can contain
either one or two Studio 4's, you can con-
nect up to four Studio 4’s to a single
Macintosh for a maximum total of 512
MIDI channels.

NOTE
: When networking two Studio 4's,
always connect their “B” ports together.
Connecting Two Studio 4's to a
Macintosh
Macintosh
There are many possible ways to connect
two Studio 4's to a single Macintosh. You
can connect them as one network on a
single port, as two separate networks, or
as a 2-cable network. With two Studio 4’s,
you can access up to 256 independent
MIDI channels.

One Network/1-Cable
The first option is to connect both
Studio 4's in a single network as shown in
Figure 3.7. Set each Studio 4’s front panel
1-8/9-16 switch as indicated. You may
