Connect your MIDI equipment
Hardware setup
If you are using a 15-pin joystick adapter cable that splits into two MIDI cables:
• Connect the 15-pin jack to your computer’s joystick port.
• Connect the In cable to your instrument’s MIDI Out jack.
• Connect the Out cable to your instrument’s MIDI In jack.
Here’s a checklist:
Continue the sequence, repeating the last connection for each of your sound modules.
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.
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.
