MIDI Basics
MIDI is a single-direction communications protocol. Therefore, a single MIDI jack can either transmit or receive MIDI data. To send MIDI from a keyboard to your computer, connect the keyboard’s MIDI Out jack to your MIDI interface’s MIDI In jack.
MIDI Thru was found on keyboards when extensive MIDI daisy chains were common and latency was an issue. Back then, a device’s MIDI Out would not necessarily reproduce what came in on the MIDI In jack. To send MIDI on to another device in the series, you’d connect the MIDI Thru of the first sound module to the MIDI In of the next.
Merging Rules
You may find it useful to have an understanding of the following rules which the
Merge uses when handling certain types of MIDI data. The Merge defines one of the 2 inputs as the master input for each of the following data types. One input may be the master for one or more data types whilst a different input may be the master for another data type.
