MIDI CONNECTIONS
Connect your MIDI device’s MIDI IN jack to the
M series MIDI OUT jack (Connection A below).
Conversely, connect the MIDI device’s MIDI OUT
jack to the M Series MIDI IN jack (Connection B).

Connecting additional gear with MIDI THRUs
If you need to connect several pieces of MIDI gear,
run a MIDI cable from the MIDI THRU of a
device already connected to the M Series interface
to the MIDI IN on the additional device as shown
below in Figure 3-6. The two devices then share
the M Series MIDI OUT port. This means that
they share the same set of 16 MIDI channels, too,
so try to do this with devices that listen to only one
MIDI channel (such as effects modules), which
makes it easier to avoid MIDI channel conflicts.

One-way MIDI connections
MIDI devices that do not receive MIDI data, such
as a dedicated keyboard controller, guitar
controller, or drum pad, only need Connection B
shown in Figure 3-5. Similarly, devices that never
send data, such as a sound module, only need
Connection A. Make both connections for any
device that needs to both send and receive MIDI
data.
