serial port. The advantage of this connec-
tion is that you retain a free Macintosh
serial port. The disadvantage is that all
MIDI and timecode communications
occur over a single Macintosh port—you
could get data overloads if you have a very
dense MIDI data stream and are syncing
to SMPTE timecode.

The second networking option involves
placing one Studio 4 on each Macintosh
serial port as shown in Figure 3.8. Set
each Studio 4’s front panel 1-8/9-16 switch
as indicated. With this connection, you
can balance the MIDI data stream
between the two Macintosh serial ports
using the Network Routing window (dis-
cussed in Chapter 6). You cannot,
however, use internal routings to send
MIDI data from one box to another (as
discussed in Chapter 7).

The final option is to use a single 2-cable
network. This is similar to the one net-
work/1-cable configuration, except you
connect a second cable between the last
Studio 4's “A” port and the unused Macin-
tosh serial port as shown in Figure 3.9.
Set each Studio 4’s front panel 1-8/9-16
switch as indicated.

tosh serial port as shown in Figure 3.9.
Set each Studio 4’s front panel 1-8/9-16

This configuration provides optimum flex-
ibility. You can balance the MIDI data
stream (unlike the one network/1-cable
connection) and you can use the
Studio 4's internal routing to send MIDI
data between interfaces (unlike the two
network connection). Use the Studio 4's
front panel THRU switches to access
external peripherals.

You must use two networks if you wish to
connect three Studio 4's to a Macintosh.
One network contains two Studio 4's; the
other network contains one. Set each
Studio 4’s front panel 1-8/9-16 switch as
indicated. Figure 3.10 shows a typical con-
nection involving three Studio 4's—with
