Connect your MIDI equipment
Hardware setup
Your MIDI interface may have a Thru jack as well as In and Out jacks. If your master keyboard lacks
MIDI Thru, you can add more MIDI modules to your setup by connecting the MIDI interface’s Thru to
the first module’s In. You can then chain subsequent modules onto the first module, as described
earlier.
If your keyboard doesn’t have a MIDI Thru jack
If your keyboard has only two MIDI jacks—In and Out—or if you have only one keyboard, use the
following diagrams instead:
Each MIDI device should be set to a unique MIDI channel or range of channels to avoid note-
doubling. Refer to the manuals for your MIDI devices for information on how to set their MIDI
channels.
If your master keyboard now seems to double notes (they sound thicker), or if you can play only one
half as many at once, first make sure that no MIDI channel is being used by more than one of your
MIDI devices.
