Midi connections from PC to 2 Keyboards
Any budding keyboard players help me?
Can't remember how to connect MIDI up, been about 10 years since i touched anything like that!
Got 2 keyboards and my PC to link up so how do i do it please?
From PC to MIDI in on 1st keyboard, then is it MIDI out or though to next keyboard, then which one back to the PC?
Thanks.....

Keyboard 1 - Out to PC In, PC Out to keyboard In
MIDI THRU of Keyboard 1 to In on Keyboard 2.
Just make sure that if both keyboards utilise all 16 midi channels, you allocate seperate channels to each keyboard (otherwise you'll have 2 keyboards sounds being triggered by the same Midi channel)

Or buy yourself a little USB midi switch box such as the midisport from midiman series (do a google, you'll find a nice 2 way switchable thing for ~£30-£40)
