Step 5. Connect Your MIDI Equipment
If you are using a MIDI interface (such as an MPU-401 or Sound Blaster
MIDI option) with an external MIDI keyboard, you need to connect the
equipment using MIDI cables.
It is possible to connect your equipment in some rather complex ways
that may cause problems. If you call for technical support with a problem
concerning equipment that doesnÕt seem to be responding, weÕll probably
suggest that you reconnect things in one of the ways listed below before
we explore the problem further. Also be sure to check Appendix A:
Troubleshooting, before calling us.
There are two methods that Þt many circumstances. The one you choose
depends on whether your keyboard has:
¥ All three types of MIDI jacks: In, Out, and Thru
¥ Only two types of MIDI jacks: In and Out
If you have only one keyboard, read the ÒIf Your Keyboard DoesnÕt Have
a MIDI Thru JackÓ section (regardless of whether you have MIDI Thru
or not).
