A Quick Tour of UniQuest For EWI 4000s
40 of 44 UniQuest for EWI 4000s
2.11 The ‘MIDI Thru’ Feature
By default, UniQuest’s MIDI Thru feature is turned off. If you wish to create EWI
sounds for layering with external synthesizers and samplers, however, you will need
to enable this feature.
Before you can use the MIDI Thru feature, you need to ensure that your computer
has a second MIDI port for connecting the external instrument to UniQuest. Here is
how the EWI 4000s, the computer and the external synth or sampler will need to be
connected for this application:
Please note that your external synth or sampler may have a USB Midi feature, in
which case you can simply connect the instrument to your computer with a USB
cable and install the MIDI drivers that came with the instrument on your computer.
Once you have connected the external synth or sampler, you will need to make sure
that UniQuest for EWI 4000s is configured to use the MIDI port the external device
is connected to: Open the MIDI->MIDI in Ports... and MIDI->Midi Out Ports..
dialogs respectively and select these ports in addition to the ones already connected
to the EWI 4000s.
