MIDI Installation

keyboard’s tone generator just like any other connected,

keyboardless sound module.

If you cannot find the “Local” function under your key-

board’s MIDI menu, consult its manual as how best to

proceed for sequencer use. Some keyboards allow you to

select from among “Local”, “MIDI” or “Both” for each of

their so-called “Parts”—in this case, the “MIDI” setting is

equivalent to “Local Off”.

MIDI Inputs/outputs

If your computer has an internal or external MIDI port, or

has a MIDI capable sound card connected, hook the key-

board “MIDI Out” to the computer’s “MIDI In” (on the in-

terface, sound card etc.). If the keyboard can generate its

own sounds, connect the computer’s “MIDI Out” to the

keyboard’s “MIDI In”. If your computer (or the MIDI de-

vice) offers more than one MIDI output, connect any

other tone generators to these. If the computer only has

one MIDI output, you need to connect the second tone

generator’s MIDI In to the keyboard’s MIDI Thru port. A

third device can be connected to the second’s MIDI Thru,

and so on. The MIDI Thru port always delivers a copy of

the signals coming into the device’s MIDI In. It is prefer-

able, however, to use a direct connection from a com-

puter’s MIDI Out to a device, rather than chaining too

many devices, one after another. This is because timing

problems may occur in the chain, if many MIDI com-

mands are sent in a short time, due to the slight delays in-

troduced by each MIDI In to MIDI Thru transaction. If

your computer also has several MIDI inputs, you can con-

nect the MIDI outputs of other MIDI expanders there.

Keyboards and Expanders with “To Host” Interface

The “To Host” interface, which allows a direct connection

to the computer, can be found on many of the more cost-

effective MIDI sound modules, as well as on many entry-

level keyboards. This in effect is a simple integrated MIDI

interface, with one MIDI In, and one MIDI Out for the

computer. An instrument with a “To Host” interface is

controlled directly; the MIDI In and Out serve as MIDI

connections for the computer, to allow further instruments,

such as another keyboard to be connected. This proves

very cost-effective for entry level setups, which may in-

clude only one keyboard and another sound module. The

expense of a dedicated computer MIDI interface, or card is

not initially required.

If you are working with such a module, first install the

driver software supplied by the manufacturer.
