The MIDI control of my Original MIDIJACK-equipped analog synthesizer is great but the keyboard on my analog synthesizer doesn work anymore. Whats wrong?
MIDI On mode has probably been selected. If the synthesizer is receiving MIDI, the Original MIDIJACK bypasses the local (built-in) analog keyboard. To turn MIDI off, hold the MIDI function button down for at least a half a second (>.5 seconds) and the MIDI will be off. In this MIDI Off mode, the built-in keyboard on the analog synthesizer will work, as well as all normal factory performance controls such as pitch bend, portamento, etc.. Since the Original MIDIJACK provides proper multiple note triggering and last note priority with a 4-note buffer, it is often best to use MIDI control even if playing live without a computer sequencer. Old analog synthesizers often have dirty electrical contacts in the keyboard, or even worse, completely rotten rubber and metal mechanisms, which causes missed notes or double-triggers. Use of such a primitive keyboard with a range of only a few octaves is pointless when the analog synthesizer is equipped with a Original MIDIJACK which has a 128-note rang
