MIDI ROUTING
LONGboard and SHORTboard automatically switch their MIDI connections when
a computer is connected to the USB port.
With a computer connected there are two MIDI ports (USB Audio Devices 1 & 2)
available on your computer. The keyboard connects to Port 1 Out and the internal
sound engine. Port 1 In from the computer can also control the internal sound
engine.
Port 2 (USB Audio Device 2) connects directly to the MIDI input and output jacks
functioning as a computer MIDI interface.
