Product Information  
Product Information  
The AXB-MIDI MIDI Interface is an Axcess device for pass-through and control of Musical  
Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) protocol signals. This unit can act as a MIDI matrix switcher.  
AXB-MIDI decodes and encodes MIDI protocol signals and routes the signals according to the  
programming within an Axcess Central Controller. The AXB-MIDI communicates with the Central  
Controller AXlink data protocols..

Preparing Captive Wires for AXlink  
Use a wire stripper and flat-blade screwdriver to prepare and connect the AXlink captive wires:  
1. Strip 0.25 inch off the wire insulation for all four wires.  
2. Insert the exposed section of each wire into the appropriate opening on the captive wire  
connector according to the wiring diagrams shown in the Installation section of this manual.  
3. Using a flat-blade screwdriver, turn the screws clockwise to secure the wire in the connector.  
Wiring the AXB-MIDI  
The AXB-MIDI requires 12.5 VDC to operate properly. The power can be supplied by the Central  
Controller's power supply and AXlink cable or with an optional 12 VDC power supply. The  
maximum wiring distance between the Central Controller and AXB-MIDI is determined by power  
consumption, supplied voltage, and the wire gauge used for the cable.  
AXlink data and power connections  
Connect the Central Controller's AXlink connector to the AXlink connector on the rear panel of the  
AXB-MIDI (see FIG. 1) for data and 12 VDC power, as shown in FIG. 3.

wire on the AXB-MIDI AXlink connector end. Do not connect the optional +12 VDC power  
supply wire to the Central Controller's power supply side of the AXlink connector.  
MIDI cable connectors  
The four MIDI jacks on the rear panel (IN A, IN B, THRU and OUT) are identical 5-pin DIN type  
connectors. FIG. 5 shows the pinout for wiring cables to these DIN connectors. It is recommended  
that off the shelf MIDI cables be used. MIDI cable lengths will be determined by physical  
placement of the Central Controller, AXB-MIDI, and the equipment providing the MIDI input  
protocol.

FIG. 5 MIDI DIN connector pinout  
Pin 2 (shielded ground) is only connected on the THRU and OUT connectors. It is not  
connected on IN A and IN B.  
It is recommended that to maintain signal integrity when connecting to any MIDI device,  
cable lengths be no more than 20 feet (6.01 meters).  
Replacing the Lithium Battery  
A lithium battery (Figure 15), with a life of approximately 5 years, in the AXB-MIDI protects  
stored presets if a power loss occurs. The battery is not used when DC power is supplied to the  
AXB-MIDI. Write down the replacement date on a sticker or label by adding 5 years to the date of  
installation. Then attach it to the bottom of the AXB-MIDI.  
FIG. 6 Lithium battery and socket  
All control commands in AXB-MIDI memory are lost when the lithium battery is  
replaced.  
Contact your AMX dealer before you replace the lithium battery and verify that they have a current  
copy of the Axcess program for your AXB-MIDI. This will avoid any inadvertent loss of data or a  
service outage.

MIDI Programming  
Most MIDI command strings consist of a status byte followed by one or two data bytes. The most  
notable exception to this is the System Exclusive which starts with a status byte of $F0, has 4 or  
more data bytes, then ends with a status byte of $F7. Status bytes are always $80 or greater. Status  
bytes are always denoted in hexadecimal. Data bytes are always less than $80 (128 in decimal).  
Data bytes may be denoted in either decimal or hexadecimal.  
Program change, Control change, and Note On/Off are the most often used of the MIDI "Channel  
Voice" commands. Since they are standard MIDI commands they are almost never explained in  
manufacturers programming manuals. Program change (Preset), Control change, Note On/Off, and  
System Exclusive.  
Programming examples  
The following section provides some programming examples:  
SEND_STRING MIDI,"$C0 + (MIDI_CHANNEL - 1), PROGRAM - 1"  
Specific example, to recall preset 128 on MIDI ch 1:  
MIDI_CHANNEL = 1  
1 - 1 = 0  
$C0 + 0 = $C0,  
PROGRAM = 128  
128 - 1 = 127, thus the send string,  
SEND_STRING MIDI,"$C0,127"  
The Program change is denoted by status byte $C0 (for MIDI channel 1) through status byte $CF  
(for MIDI channel 16), followed by one data byte.  
PRGM EX. 1  
SEND_STRING MIDI,"$90 + (MIDI_CHANNEL - 1), Note, Velocity" (* Note On *)  
SEND_STRING MIDI,"$80 + (MIDI_CHANNEL - 1), Note, Velocity" (* Note Off *)  
Note that On is denoted by status byte $90 (for MIDI channel 1) through status byte $9F (for MIDI  
channel 16), Note that Off is denoted by status byte $80 (for MIDI channel 1) through status byte $8F (for  
MIDI channel 16).  
PRGM EX. 2  
SEND_STRING MIDI,"$80 + (MIDI_CHANNEL - 1), Note, 0"  
(* Note Off *)  
Most modern controllers send a $90 note on with velocity 0 for note off (We'll save the reason why for  
MIDI programming 102).

SEND_STRING MIDI,"$B0 + (MIDI_CHANNEL - 1), CONTROLLER, VALUE"  
Specific example set volume to 50% on MIDI ch 5:  
MIDI_CHANNEL = 5  
5 - 1 = 4  
$B0 + 4 = $B4,  
The standard MIDI Volume controller is 7,  
127 * 50% = 64 (approximately), thus the send string,

channel 16), followed by two data bytes.  
PRGM EX. 4  
MIDI_CHANNEL = 6  
6 - 1 = 5  
$90 + 5 = $95  
Note = 60  
Velocity = 96, thus the send string,  
SEND_STRING MIDI,"$95,60,96"  
To turn the same note off:  
SEND_STRING MIDI,"$95,60,0"  
Specific example, Middle C (Note #60) on, on MIDI ch 6. If you're not sure what velocity to use try some-  
thing between 64 (half) and 127(full), how about 96?

Most System Exclusives start with $F0, then a three byte system exclusive address, then more data bytes  
as determined by the manufacturer, then an end byte of $F7. Unlike the channel voice messages which  
are part of the MIDI standard, the system exclusives are usually well explained in the manufacturers  
programming manual.  
One exception to this is MMC, or MIDI Machine Control. It's part of the MIDI standard. These MMC  
commands were captured from a Roland FC-200 MIDI Foot Controller. The address of "$F7,$F7,$06"  
means "Universal Realtime Message, Broadcast, MMC". Then there is a single data byte followed by the  
end byte $F7.

implements Mode control and special message by using  
reserved controller numbers 120-127.  
• All Sound Off.  
When All Sound Off is received all oscillators will turn  
Off, and their volume envelopes are set to zero as soon  
as possible.  
c = 120, v = 0: All Sound Off  
• Reset All Controllers.  
When Reset All Controllers is received, all controller  
values are reset to their default values.  
c = 121, v = x: Value must only be zero unless  
otherwise allowed in a specific Recommended Practice.  
• Local Control.  
When Local Control is Off, all devices on a given  
channel will respond only to data received over MIDI.  
Played data, etc. will be ignored. Local Control On  
restores the functions of the normal controllers.  
c = 122, v = 0: Local Control Off  
c = 122, v = 127: Local Control On
