Setting Up Your MIDI Studio

A typical MIDI system set-up would include your MIDISPORT 4x4, a computer,
MIDI sequencing software, a MIDI controller keyboard and perhaps MIDI
compatible sound modules. This type of set-up can be connected as follows (see
figure 1):

1. The MIDISPORT 4x4 is connected to the computer via the USB port

connectors, using the supplied USB standard cable.

2. The MIDI out of your controller keyboard is connected to Input-A of the

MIDISPORT.

3. Output-A of the MIDISPORT 2x2 is connected to the MIDI In of a sound

module. (This can also be your MIDI controller keyboard if it is also serving
as a sound module).

4. Output-B is connected to an additional sound module.
5. Input-B is connected to a second controller, such as drum pads or wind

controller. (Input-B can also be used as a synchronization input such as MIDI
clock received from a drum machine or MIDI Time Code from another sync
source).

6. Inputs and Outputs C and D can be connected in a similar manner.
