The MIDI thru jack basically let you send MIDI data to two devices at once (or more if you went to daisy chaining). In this example you may set the 505 to receive on MIDI channel 10 (default for drums) and the Wavestation to receive on channels 12-16. For example, you may have wanted to use a DX-7, a TR-505 drum machine and a Wavestation. Back in the days of hardware synths you may have wanted to use three boxes. The reason a lot of devices have a MIDI Thru jack is to allow users to send MIDI data to several devices from one controller.Īs most of us know, MIDI transmits on 16 channels. It's also what you can blame a lot of terrible music on. This is something we take for granted, now but back in the early 80s, MIDI was the killer app of synthesizers. If a unit lacks the Thru feature, it's almost universally selectable in a menu to make the Out into a Thru.Īlso, everyone should take a second a reflect on the fact that I'm 31 and MIDI predates me yet is still a viable protocol for 2014. If you want to control volume independently of each amp with the same expression pedal, that'll be a little more complex and really a question of whether the pedal can generate and send those MIDI control signals.īut John's right. I mean, it'll take a little digging and diving into manuals, thank goodness for the internet. You can build the presets in such a way where they're ordered together so when you cycle through them, they may be recalling different banks of sounds by calling up the same Control number through the pedal setup. If you're looking to independently control 2 CTs with the same foot pedal identically, it's super-easy.
More than that you'll have to ask a MIDI guy, probably over in keyboards.We're here, too. Thru forwards the MIDI In data, Out doesn't.
It's a bit more complex than that - there' s MIDI In, Out, and Thru.
