M-Audio 2x2, 2x4, 1x1, 4x4 manual Setting Up your MIDI Studio

Setting Up your MIDI Studio

A typical MIDI studio set-up would include your MIDISPORT, a computer, MIDI sequencing software, a MIDI controller keyboard and perhaps MIDI compatible sound modules.

The example which follows, and is shown in the diagram here, uses the MIDISPORT 2x4, however all MIDISPORT interfaces can be set up in a similar manner.

This type of setup can be connected as follows:

1.The MIDISPORT is connected to the computer via the USB port connector using the supplied USB standard cable.

2.The MIDI Out of your controller keyboard is connected to Input 1 (or A) of the MIDISPORT.

3.Output 1 of the MIDISPORT is connected to the MIDI In of a sound module. (This can also be your MIDI controller keyboard if it is also serving as a sound module).

4.Output 2 through Output 4 are connected to additional sound modules.

5.The MIDI output of a second controller, such as drum pads or a wind controller, is connected to Input 2.
