   * MIDI messages usually comprise of up to 3 bytes. One bit of every byte is used to determine whether it's a status byte or a data byte. Hence, the 'resolution' of MIDI is 7 bit, or 0...127.   * MIDI messages usually comprise of up to 3 bytes. One bit of every byte is used to determine whether it's a status byte or a data byte.

   * the specification explains in great detail which message translates to which note or other value. This way you could be sure that when you pressed e.g. the note C on a MIDI keyboard this triggered the C on a sampler or expander.    * the specification explains in great detail which message translates to which note or other value.

-  * the standard MIDI connection is the 5pin DIN connector. Simply connect the sender's MIDI output with the receriver's MIDI input. There is a maximum cable length of 50 ft (~ 15m) as per the MIDI specification. If you need to run the signal over longer distances there are range extenders, see https://www.midiextender.com/+  * the standard MIDI connection is the 5pin DIN connector.

   * in case of using USB-MIDI (from Titan v12) it should work out of the box. All connected MIDI controllers will show up in USB Expert (see below) and will work accordingly. output signals (MIDI sent via macros) will be sent down at all avialable outputs   * in case of using USB-MIDI (from Titan v12) it should work out of the box.
