Fig. 1 - Connection diagram of a master keyboard and two expanders or other instruments (slave 1 and slave 2). The data are
generated by the master, received at MIDI IN of slave 1 and sent to the sound engine of slave 1 and to MIDI IN of slave 2.
THE MIDI THRU PORT
The MIDI THRU port permits the connection of
several slave instruments in series (as shown in
Figure 1).
In the example, Slave 1 and Slave 2 are control-
led by the single Master. Slave 2 does not re-
ceive Slave 1 data, which only acts as a through
device.
THE COMPUTER PORT
The COMPUTER port can simultaneously act a
MIDI IN and MIDI OUT port and allows the direct
connection of the instrument by means of a sin-
gle serial cable.
When the COMPUTER port is in use, the WK3
MIDI ports are disabled.
If you have a computer capable of directing MIDI
data to the serial port (specified as RS232 in IBM
PCs and compatibles, MODEM in Macintosh),
you can substitute the two MIDI cables with the
single serial cable.
The connection via the COMPUTER port allows
the control of 16 MIDI channels, as for the stand-
ard MIDI interface.
