About MIDI

Connecting MIDI devices

By connecting the ARP ODYSSEY to a computer or external MIDI sequencer, you can
control the sound generator of the ARP ODYSSEY from an external device.
Use a commercially available MIDI cable to connect the ARP ODYSSEY's MIDI
IN connector to the MIDI OUT connector of your external MIDI device (see
"Connections" on page 14).
MIDI IN connector: This receives MIDI messages from other MIDI devices. Connect
this connector to the MIDI OUT connector of the other device.
Note messages (velocity is ignored) are the only type of MIDI messages that the
ARP ODYSSEY can receive via its MIDI IN connector. The range of notes that
can be received is 012 (C0) – 127 (G9).

MIDI channel

MIDI has sixteen channels, 1 – 16.
If you connect an external MIDI device, you must set the MIDI channel of the ARP
ODYSSEY to match the MIDI channel of your external MIDI device.
