Hi,
Yes - just a bit. This selects which port the Emax is connected too over the
serial cable (RS422). Don't use MIDI, its 17 times slower than RS422. E-mu
Systems were hoping that MIDI would use serial RS422 rather than Dave Smiths
rather slow DIN standard....E-mu were excluded from MIDI discussions in
1982/83, as E-mu had to sue Sequential Circuits over the none payment of
license fees re-the Prophet 5. Thats why all E-mu Systems products have
RS422 connectors up until 1988.

  matter which?

  Thanks
