If you connect In to Out, rather than Out to In, the other instrument becomes
the Master. And if you use two cables, connecting In to Out, and Out to In,
you can use either instrument as the Master.
You probably will want to use the Mark-Pro TWOi as the master keyboard. It
is important to explain that what is sent over the MIDI cables is information
(data), not sound. In fact, the usefulness of the master-slave setup lies in
having each instrument produce a different sound, resulting in layering of
sounds that expands on the layering that is possible with the Mark-Pro TWOi.
The slave can be a MIDI organ, portable keyboard, synthesizer, tone
module, drum machine, or effects device. If it does not have built-in
amplification and speakers, connect its audio output to the Mark-Pro TWOi
Audio In jacks on the rear panel.
Another application of MIDI is in using a sequencer to record and
play back your performance. The Recorder on the Mark-Pro TWOi is
actually a sequencer, but some advanced users may wish to connect an
external sequencer as well, to make use of features that go beyond what
the built-in Recorder provides. An external sequencer can be a special
hardware unit designed for that purpose, or it can be a computer running
special sequencing software. In either use, the MIDI connections are the
same - Out to In, and In to Out.
