MIDI

PROCESSING

UNIT

MPU-IPC-T

The

Roland

MPU-IPC-T

features

the

functions

of

the

MIDI

Processing

Unit

MPU-401

plus

the

interface

with

an

IBM's

home

computer.

No

need

to

say,

the

software

such

as

commands

and

data

format

are

exactly

the

same

as

the

MPU-401.

Please

read

the

MPU-401's

Technical

Reference

Manual:

Warning

This

equipment

has

been

certified

to

comply

with

the

limits

for

a

Class

B

computing

device,

pursuant

to

Subpart

J

of

Part

15

of

FCC

Rules.

Only

Computer

certified

to

comply

with

the

Class

B

limits

may

be

attached

to

this

equip¬

ment.

Operation

with

non-certified

computing

device

is

likely

to

result

in

interference

to

radio

and

TV

reception.

Radio

and

Television

Interference

The

equipment

described

in

this

manual

generates

and

uses

radio-frequency

energy.

If

it

is

not

installed

and

used

properly,

that

is,

in

strict

accordance

with

our

instructions,

it

may

cause

interference

with

radio

and

television

reception.

This

equipment

has

been

tested

and

complies

with

the

limits

for

a

Class

B

computing

device

in

accordance

with

the

specifications

in

Subpart

J,

Part

15,

of

FCC

rules.

These

rules

are

designed

to

provide

reasonable

protec¬

tion

against

such

interference

in

a

residential

installation.

However,

there

is

no

guarantee

that

the

interference

will

not

occur

in

a

particular

installation,

especially

if

you

use

a

"rabbit

ear"

television

antenna.

(A

"rabbit

ear"

antenna

is

the

telescoping-rod

type

usually

contained

on

TV

receivers.)

You

can

determine

whether

your

computer

is

causing

interference

by

turning

it

off.

If

the

interference

stops,

it

was

probably

caused

by

the

computer

or

its

peripheral

devices.

To

further

isolate

the

problem:

•

Disconnect

the

peripheral

devices

and

their

input/

output

cables

one

at

a

time.

If

the

interference

stops,

it

is

caused

by

either

the

peripheral

device

or

its

I/O

cable.

These

devices

usually

require

shield

I/O

cables.

For

Roland

peripheral

devices,

you

can

obtain

the

proper

shielded

cable

from

your

dealer.

If

your

computer

or

its

peripheral

devices

does

cause

interference

to

radio

or

television

reception,

you

can

try

to

correct

the

interference

by

using

one

or

more

of

the

following

measures:

•

Turn

the

TV

or

radio

antenna

until

the

interference

stops.

•

Move

the

computer

or

its

peripheral

device

to

one

side

or

the

other

of

the

TV

or

radio.

•

Move

the

computer

or

its

peripheral

devices

farther

away

from

the

TV

or

radio.

•

Plug

the

computer

or

its

peripheral

devices

into

an

outlet

that

is

on

a

different

circuit

than

the

TV

or

radio.

(That

is,

make

certain

the

computer

or

its

peripheral

devices

and

the

radio

or

television

set

are

on

circuits

controlled

by

different

circuit

breakers

or

fuses.)

•

Consider

installing

a

rooftop

television

antenna

with

coaxial

cable

lead-in

between

the

antenna

and

TV.

If

necessary,

you

should

consult

your

dealer

or

an

ex¬

perienced

radio/television

technician

for

additional

suggestions.

■

MIDI

and

MPU-IPC-T

There

are

various

ways

of

producing

music

by

using

computers.

For

example,

a

computer

may

play

music

data

with

its

own

sound

source,

and

a

robot

may

play

the

keyboard

instead

of

a

man.

The

most

common

method

of

creating

computer

music,

however,

is

playing

the

electronic

musical

instruments

featuring

MIDI

by

a

host

computer.

MIDI

(Musical

Instruments

Digital

Interface)

is

an

international

standard

for

digitally

com¬

municating

musical

information

(e.g.

pressing

keys,

using

bender,

etc.).

MIDI

Processing

Unit

MPU-IPC-T

is

an

interface

for

a

computer

and

MIDI

instruments

(sound

source).

The

signals

used

by

computers

and

MIDI

devices

are

both

digital

but

totally

different

languages

like

English

and

Japanese.

The

MPU-IPC-T

is

a

micro

computer

that

works

as

an

interpreter

of

a

computer

and

MIDI

sound

modules,

allowing

the

host

computer

to

concentrate

specifically

on

the

music.

Apart

from

the

function

as

an

interpreter,

the

MPU-IPC-T

features

the

following

functions.

a.

MIDI

Clock

Output

The

MPU-IPC-T

sends

out

MIDI

clock

for

synchronization

with

a

rhythm

machine

through

the

MIDI

OUT

Connector.

b.

Tape

Sync

Function

For

multitrack

recording,

the

TAPE

IN

and

OUT

Connec¬

tors

can

be

used

to

synchronize

the

first

recorded

sound

with

the

later

recorded

one.

c.

M

etronome

Function

Metronome

sound

can

be

obtained

in

the

tempo

and

time

set

with

the

computer.

This

is

extremely

useful

for

recording

the

music

played

on

the

keyboard

into

the

computer.

If

you

find

the

metronome

sound

too

small,

connect

a

monitor

amplifier

to

the

Metronome

Out

Jack.

NOTE

The

function

of

the

MPU-IPC-T

available

differs

depend¬

ing

on

the

software

used.

Please

read

the

instructions

of

each

software.

Also,

for

technical

details

of

the

MPU-

IPC-T,
