Description
The THRU-5 has one MIDI Input and five MIDI Thru ports to enable you to
connect several MIDI devices to one MIDI output, without the usual problems
encountered when daisy-chaining MIDI devices.
The THRU-5 has an opto-coupled MIDI Input and separate drive circuits for each
MIDI Thru socket for optimum performance. The THRU-5 also incorporates active
circuitry to help restore the quality of signals received at the MIDI Input
that may have become degraded by losses in the MIDI cable.
The THRU-5 is powered by a mains adaptor (supplied), so it doesn’t need
periodic battery changes to keep it working, enabling you to “fit and forget”.
Connecting
Ensure that the power adaptor is plugged in, and the ACTIVE LED on the THRU-5
is on. Connect the MIDI output of your keyboard or computer to the MIDI Input
of the THRU-5 and connect one or more of the MIDI Thru ports of the THRU-5 to
the MIDI inputs of the devices you want to control.
Do not connect any of the MIDI Thru ports of the THRU-5 back to the MIDI Input
of the device which is supplying data to the MIDI In port of the THRU-5, as
this may cause a MIDI loop to occur. This may cause note hangs or other
undesirable effects.
