Alesis QuadraSynth Plus instruction

Connections: Chapter 3

If you are driving other MIDI gear (such as an expander module or MIDI- responsive signal processor), you’ll usually drive these from the sequencer if it has additional MIDI outputs. However, you can also use the QuadraSynth Plus’s MIDI THRU connector to drive other modules since the Thru carries a replica of what appears at the QuadraSynth Plus’s MIDI IN, which is the same as the sequencer’s MIDI OUT.
