MIDI Solutions R8
The MIDI Solutions R8 8-output
MIDI-Controlled Relay Array contains eight relays which can be programmed to
open or close in
response to MIDI events.
Event types are
programmable and include:
Fast reed relays are
used for a response time of less than 2ms. Relay contacts are rated at 500mA. Contacts are
made available via connections to the tip and sleeve of 1/4" mono phone jacks.
The R8 is programmed by sending it MIDI
System
Exclusive messages (see FAQs - Programming).
This can be done easily with the Programming Tools
software for the F8 and R8. Once
programmed, the R8's settings are retained even after power is removed. The R8
can be reprogrammed with new settings as often as needed.
The R8 is
MIDI-powered, and
requires no batteries or power supply to operate with most products (see FAQs - Power
for more information). A MIDI indicator LED lights up when the product is
powered and flashes when MIDI data passes through it.
