Scenario 2: MidAir as a Wireless, Standalone Controller
Live performers who want to use their MidAir system
wirelessly on stage will most likely use this scenario. In
this configuration, the MidAir transmitter (keyboard) sends
MIDI commands to the wireless receiver which then relays
that information (via MIDI cable) to sound modules or other
MIDI devices.
The wireless receiver must be powered by AC adapter
whereas the MidAir transmitter can be powered by either
batteries or AC power.
Note that in this configuration, the Standalone Mode
switch should be set to “Wireless” or “Auto” so that the
receiver will relay the MidAir transmitter’s commands out
of the MIDI output port.
The Standalone switch determines which input signal is routed to the MIDI output port. By setting the Standalone switch to
“Auto,” you can have a different MIDI controller connected to both MIDI inputs and use them subsequently without having to
change the cable configuration or Standalone switch position. Keep in mind that the MidAir receiver never merges signals from
the wired and wireless inputs. If MIDI is received on both the wired and wireless MIDI input port simultaneously, then the wired
MIDI input will take precedence while any signals received at the wireless MIDI input port will be ignored.
For more detailed information about the MidAir receiver’s routing operation, please see the Standalone Mode switch description
in chapter 7 of this guide.
