MIDI without USB - classic MIDI connections explained

You want do do MIDI without USB? Hooking up a synthesiser is easy. USB cable in - done! But what if you want to tempo sync two drum machines in a live setup? No computer! What if you bought a vintage synth on eBay? No USB! What if you want to directly control one synth from another keyboard? USB usually doesn’t do a direct connection!
In this video we explain how the classic 5 pin MIDI connection works and how you could use it with or without a USB master keyboard.

Nice! If a synth doesn't include 5-pin MIDI support, is USB-MIDI only, it is instantly scratch off my wish list. I can play everything in my setup via a master MIDI keyboard and I have a MIDI Channel label on the face of the synths & sound modules for quick reference of the assigned channel. P.S. Daisy chaining with MIDI THRU is convenient, but then you need to power up all gear in the chain. A MIDI THRU box (one MIDI IN, many MIDI OUT) allows you to keep some gear off when not being used. And avoid introducing latency.

Thanks for the video. Nicely presented. Although you didn't seem to mention the necessity for setting MIDI channels on separate synth's downstream from the controller - but it's a small point. However...... I would have to say that restricting synths to USB MIDI only, is a huge error. Conventional MIDI works well and has done so for decades. Why enforce the use of a computer just for MIDI connections. In a multi-synth setup, making a PC the patch panel is introducing a single point of failure. It's not as if a computer is 100% reliable. In an "old school" midi setup, if one synth fails, you can patch it out. If your laptop/PC fails, you are completely screwed.

My MIDI trick is to invest in a MOTU MTP AV for all my midi merging/splitting/routing/filtering/clocking needs, means no moving of cables and as such gives you a very flexible setup. 8X8 with one unit or 16X16 with an extra similar unit over serial. Really useful if you have multiple MIDI controllers and multiple MIDI sound modules as you don't necessarily have to change MIDI channels as each module will only respond to the controller that is routed to it.

Yea you are old fashioned. It's called retro or nostalgic these days my friend. Me personally am a bit youngish (30) and I hate how integrated music making has become with a PC. I actually just started making music in the past few months, didn't know a damn thing about anything lol. Never played an instrument in my life but I for one don't like the fact that people sell snippets of sound made on some shitty VST's to other people to make another GENERIC rap, dubstep, synth, retrowave song. I think it's very cool and innovative to be able to click on your screen with a mouse and keyboard but it takes away creativity. THere is literally kids out here who have told me that they would rather use mouse and keyboard to make a beat... Me being young but in between generations is difficult. I like classic things that mesh well with new age tech but these kids don't even want to use a damn midi controller! LOL! I said to one guy who told me he doesn't know how to play keys... "I don't either! But i bought a KK m32 keyboard to LEARN how to play!" It's CRAZY how people are so void of LEARNING a new TALENT that could take you somewhere. Music making has given me back my life. I missed this feeling.

@thomaskolb8785 4 жыл бұрын

It is not a matter of being old-fashioned, but having better ears. USB was never intended to work in a pro audio setup and as such can create a slight, but clearly audible background noise (a kind of "swirling", "whistling" or "ticking") to the instrument's noise floor. For some instruments this is more pronounced than others, but even if you use noise gates, it will soon add up to a very audible dgital racket when using multiple synthesizers. Standard DIN MIDI is specifically designed to avoid this, and so is completely silent.

@jnkmal9519 4 жыл бұрын

@@thomaskolb8785 Probably because real MIDI circuits use optocouplers as a standard of MIDI which physically isolates the circuit between instruments. USB share power/ground and 2 data lines which certainly can lead to audible noise.

You shouldn't even be allowed to call that MIDI. And companies still seem to ignore the lack of hardware MIDI. It's so sad to see that the arturia keystep is pretty much the only of its class to feature hardware MIDI. In a time where everything is going back to analog and DAW-less, manufacturers have really missed out on that, still bringing out gear with only USB-MIDI or without MIDI THRU!

Now, I'd like to have a tutorial on how to set up the keyboard software, Controltribe, for various needs.

I use a korg ds-8 to control my model-D with midi and route audio for the korg to the audio in of the model d. When I play a note I get both instruments, by default the Model D plays the lowest note played, then I can play other notes on top of that from the korg going through the model-d filter. I know you can change the note priority with the software, but using the Model-d as a bass is quite great. Then I can hook up to an amp and have one channel two great synths together.

This is a very good explanation of 'old school' MIDI, and after 4 decades it still works great! However, linking through THRU won't work when using your synths as multi-timbral instruments from a DAW: each has its own 16 MIDI channels and therefor need separate connections. And that's where MIDI boxes with 2x2, 4x4, 8x8 or even higher come into play. My experience is that using multiple MIDI synths as well as USB from a DAW, doesn't work well... At least not with Cakewalk (previously Sonar) Luckily MIDI is still included on most modern synths! And with MIDI 2.0 around the corner, it's going to be used for many decades again 😀🎹

You are wrong about older synths not being able to merge Midi data on the MIDI OUT connector. All of my Roland gear can Merge the Local Keyboard notes being played along with data being sent via a sequencer which (as an example) will play my Roland i7 Integra (which can playback 16 channels and all the internal effects) along with my live data at the same time. My friend had an M1 Korg which is a very old keyboard that also had a Local Keyboard on off switch which allowed the merge. I have an older Yamaha keyboard that will do the same thing so I think the user needs to check with their manual to see if the Local merge can be accomplished.

Please forgive my very basic question but I am not a regular keyboard/midi user. I have an old digital piano with only midi connections which I only use as midi controller and use an old Sound Canvas external sound module as my sound source. I have attempted to connect this setup to my computer with a very basic midi/usb interface, a little black box with In, Out, Thru and Midi connections. It worked for a while but now I can't get the recorded midi data to communicate with the sound module, which means I can't listen back to what I have recorded. Currently my patching is as follows: Out of keyboard into in of the interface/Thru from interface to In of sound module. I can hear what I play live but not what has been recorded. I think my settings on the recorded channels in the DAW (Reaper) are correct. I have assigned different channels to different sounds on the module and adjust the output channel on the keyboard when I'm recording. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong, anybody? Many thanks indeed.

I have a question. I bought a midi-interface called SubZero SZ-MB44.  The idea was that I was going to control several of my hardware synths with either my Beatstep Pro or my Keystep, hook up at the same time.  The interface works well with my Volca Sample on channels 1-10, Volca FM on channel 11 and a Minilogue XD module on channel 13.  I tried to set the Behringer neutron on channel 12, both with the dipswitches and the software but it doesn't work. At one point I got drone-like long tones, impossible to control. Otherwise the midi signal goes into the interface but not into the Neutron.  When I use the midi-in directly from the keystep and route the midi-thru to the interface it works, but the thing I would wan't to do is to control the Neutron with the BSP or the Keystep without having to re-route cables every time  Grateful for some guidance.  /Otto

You website uses the Joyo Cab Box as an example of controlling with MIDI. I tried this going through an Eleven Rack using the Nektar Pacer and if would not change the presets on the Joyo. ER through was set to active. Tried using the Pacer direct into the Joyo and the PGBNK commands still would not change the presets on Joyo. Saw a review where a user trying with a Boss GT-10 had same results.

Solton/Ketron can merge midi in with internal signal and send together from midi out.
