MIDI CONNECTORS

MIDI IN should be connected to a MIDI OUT or a MIDI THRU  similarly  MIDI  OUT should be  connected  only
to a MIDI IN and a MIDI THRU should also be connected only to a MIDI IN.

MIDI OUT is the signal from the synthesizer (or drum machine etc.) that is to be sent to another
instrument. MIDI IN is a received signal that contains MIDI information from  another  synth,  and MIDI THRU
is an exact  copy  of information arriving at the MIDI IN socket.  This allows several  instruments  to  be
connected together.

If you want to wire your own MIDI cables the following information may be useful.
1) Although a 5 pin connector is used, only two connections plus an
earth connection are required.
2) If you look at the din plug from the wiring side you will see that the pins are numbered. From left t o
right (or clockwise) these are 1 - 4 - 2 - 5 - 3.
3) The pins numbered 1 & 3 are not used.
4) The screen (earth) is connected to pin 2 (centre pin)
5) Pin 4 of one plug should be connected to pin 4 of the other
6) Pin 5 of one plug should be connected to pin 5 of the other
7) You should now have a working MIDI lead
8) It is preferable to label one end of the cable MIDI IN & the other end MIDI OUT, to avoid confusion.
