Electro 3 : does MIDI out connection mutes audio output?

Post by iubito »

Hi!
I'm thinking about creating an effect pedal which is based on MIDI signal, and that will change the sound.
I don't have MIDI wire and I have just a simple question before buying wire and continue to write the specifications : if I connect something to MIDI output, does the audio left/right output continue to work?
Thanks

Yes, unless you set "Local" to "Off."

However, MIDI output includes no audio output. It is solely for sending digital information to other devices.

I supplement my Electro 3 with an external Roland synth module, by connecting a traditional 5 pin MIDI cable to the MIDI out of my Electro 3. I can confirm that when I connect another device to the MIDI output of the Electro, the audio left/right output of the Electro continues to work.
