    i had a MIDI handbook that friend from the UK gave back in the 90's and that open up a whole new world for me with MIDI

    All these years I've been so wrong...
    I've been playing with MIDI since 1990, and I ALWAYS thought that THRU was everything In and ALSO what was generated Locally. I had no idea it was ONLY a copy of what came in, unless specified otherwise. I'm remembering some troubleshooting sessions where I literally was pulling my hair out and eventually gave up. This is probably why... Well, you live, you learn...eventually.

    Midi Thru I've found to be the key to daisy chaining and MPE controllers. I take 5 behringer synths (two Neutrons, a CAT, a Pro-1 and a Model D) and set them to channels 1 thru 5. I take my Roli Seaboard Rise 49 and set it to Multi Channel Mode, using channels 1 thru 5. If I set them all to pitch bend an octave and set the Roli to an octave bend range, I have a 5 voice BEM (with similar voicings of course) where each BEM can independently pitch bend. Works the same if your sound module is multi-tibmral in a similar function. Set 8 slots in my old TG-33 and I have a Poly AT receptive and Poly pitch bending TG-33.

    Thank you for all your great videos.
    A few questions:
    1/ does it mean that you cannot daisy chain if most of your keyboards have only in/out but not through?
    2/ About midi channel, is there anything to set?
    3/ how to prevent midi in/out to switch the program on the receiver keyboard when you switch it on the controlling keyboard?

    • @sweetwater
      @sweetwater  2 роки тому +3

      Hi alain.
      1/ If your synths don't have a MIDI Thru you can get a MIDI thru box that has one MIDI In and 2, 4, or 8 MIDI Thru jacks:
      www.sweetwater.com/store/manufacturer/MIDI_Solutions
      2/ You need to make sure that the device with the MIDI Out is on the same MIDI Channel as the device with the MIDI In.
      3/ Some synths have settings that choose what they transmit or don't transmit via MIDI. Some synths have settings that choose what they receive or don't receive via MIDI. If neither do, you can use a box called a MIDI Event Processor (see link above).

      @@sweetwater thanks a lot Daniel ...do you think Arturia BSP or KSP would be a better option ? are they easy to program?

    • @alainszyller615
      @alainszyller615 2 роки тому

      and BSP is not that much expansive than a MIDI event processor and does many other things in addition

    Thanks for this, got an Irig midi 2 from Amazon and I'm currently figuring the ins and outs of a roland td4 ekit and a Yamaha keyboard.
    Kids are awestruck, all our minds are blown.
    Thanks for explaining what that 'thru' port does 😂😂😂😂

  • @KidNovaDaHitMaker

    Do the MIDI cables in and out pass MIDI and audio information, or do you have to connect multiple 1/4 inch lines from each device you're using into line inputs in the interface you're using? I'm assuming since it's MIDI the audio isn't transfered through them.

    • @sweetwater
      @sweetwater  8 місяців тому +1

      Hi KidNovaDaHitMaker. There's never any audio in a 5-pin MIDI connection. Some devices allow audio over USB along with MIDI data, but again, only some. -_Daniel_

    Excellent. What about MIDI merge and Thru boxes? How do you manage MIDI channels per device. I’ve always set my drum machines to channel 10.

    I cannot figure out how to connect my Roland Juno DS and my Korg Wavestate to where I can have both play their sounds separately,, They only have Midi in and out

  • @sleekitwan
    @sleekitwan 2 роки тому +1

    Good. Now you introduce the fact some equipment makers decided to put ‘consumer-friendly’ labels on MIDI sockets, so it was ‘clearer’ a MIDI out, should be connected here. So they labelled MIDI IN as in fact, a MIDI OUT, because that’s meant to be easier for a consumer. In other words, the consumer could just connect the ‘out’ of their keyboard or computer, to the socket marked ‘OUT’ on the device to be connected. So it was just ‘out’ goes to ‘out’. But I think we can agree this is not in fact helpful. There’s also early stuff, the fact some kit worked if chained up in a certain order, but not otherwise. I imagine, all these 1980’s teething issues have settled down by now (I hope). Thanks for your take on clarifying it.

      Hi Dino Goldie. Some keyboards don't offer DC power from its MIDI connection, even though it's in the MIDI Spec. Thanks for watching! -_Daniel_
