Each MIDI device should be set to a unique MIDI channel or range of channels to
avoid note-doubling. Refer to the manuals for your MIDI devices for information
on how to set their MIDI channels.
Your MIDI interface may have a Thru jack as well as In and Out jacks. If your
master keyboard lacks MIDI Thru, you can add more MIDI modules to your setup
by connecting the MIDI interface’s Thru to the first module’s In. You can then
chain subsequent modules onto the first module, as described earlier.
If your master keyboard now seems to double notes (they sound thicker), or if you
can play only one half as many notes at once, first make sure that no MIDI channel
is being used by more than one of your MIDI devices. If no MIDI channel is
assigned to duplicate devices and you hear doubling or only half as many notes as
you should, see “My Keyboard Doubles Every Note I Play” on page 647.
If Your Keyboard Doesn’t Have a MIDI Thru Jack
If your keyboard has only two MIDI jacks—In and Out—or if you have only one
keyboard, use the following diagrams instead:
