Hmmm, how do you use more than one MIDI device per
port?
Perhaps:
MIDI setup
Keyboard MIDI OUT ------------> Computer MIDI IN
Computer MIDI OUT1 ----------> Keyboard MIDI IN
Computer MIDI OUT2 ----------> Synth MIDI IN
Synth MIDI THRU ---------------> Effects Box MIDI IN
http://www.epinions.com/inst-review-737E-184DBA3-39F0EB54-prod1
Computer MIDI OUT2 is connected to Synth MIDI IN and Effects Box MIDI IN in a
chain.
The warning from the page is:
"2. WIRING UP
When wiring up a MIDI device to another, there are different possibilities to
consider, some MIDI devices only have only a MIDI IN or a MIDI OUT and some
have both IN/OUT and THRU. The MIDI IN is always connected to a MIDI OUT
device and vice-versa. The MIDI THRU is used to connect external MIDI
devices, "
here it comes
"but it is best not to use more than three as any more can result in a slight
delay which will decrease the quality of the music, as modules will sound
slightly out of time."
I am largely ignorant here but had a vague memory from the 80s iirc and looked
this up.
all the best,
