This is crazy..... I'm Lloyd Dorsey and I forgot that I even asked the question.... and here it is 3 years later that I run across this video!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought it was some type of block chain thing that I saw my name.......wowo......Thanks.
Wow dude you're an AMAZING teacher. This is probably one of the best tutorials on ANYTHING that I've ever watched. MIDI for me is complex to understand but you made it very understandable! Thank you
I’m glad Behringer did this video for those who maybe are or are not familiar with the idea of midi compared to usb.It can be helpful for those just beginning into the world of midi.Thank you for the informational video.
You guys are awesome for doing this. I use midi or cv primarily for sync/connections. My days of sitting on a bedroom floor with a pro-one, commodore 64, and tape deck may be long, long gone... but man.... where it has all taken us! I kinda hate that i grew up classic midi now that it makes me all old; but I love all your guys' great gear and the community available in here in the future. Appreciate ya all doin this vid! Best!
I started by daisy-chaining synths, then worked my way up to a MIDI expander connected to an Atari 1040st. USB wasn't even thought of yet. Great to see a video teaching MIDI beginning basics to the USB generation ;)
Like they say, "If you can't explain it to a 6 year old, you don't know it yourself" and he explained it very well. Just bought a UB-Xa and looked to connect my Minifreak. I haven't used midi ports in a long time. Had to come refresh my knowledge.
@@joaquinvelazquez913 DIN is another name for "5 pin MIDI" connectors, but MIDI isn't the only thing that uses DIN. *Really* old desktop computers used DIN connectors for keyboards.

I'm watching for the same reason -- to see this "midi with usb" thing. I mean it can't be real deal chainable midi, can it? Sounds like a hack. Time to watch...
Yep, reducing everything to USB bites us in the butt yet again. Considering the "MI" in "MIDI" stands for Multiple Instrument, the USB version shouldn't even be called MIDI.
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.
Lol I’ll never forget trying to hook my first synth to my mpc2000 back in day, it took while for my brain to wrap around the way it’s basically reverse of way audio wires go (which is another whole bunch of wires you had to deal with on top of midi lol), like with audio I was so use to like, sound goes “out” of this machine, and “in” to this machine, but then midi data goes other way, cause your sending data, seems so simple to me now, but back in beginning learning it was perplexing lol
forgot a couple of things. I also use 2 Behringer stereo volume control pedals between the laptops and the power amplifiers. So I have 4 channel audio from 2 laptops and 4 keyboards and 1 pedalboard. Really fun, really shakes the house!!! Thanks!
My 50+ keyboards/synths/modules are connected via four MOTU MIDI Express 128 USB to MIDI interfaces on my Mac Pro. They're all local off and I select in Digital Performer which instrument and channel I want to play on each every time. This means I can access all the remote gear from my Yamaha Motif XS7 master keyboard from the comfort of my chair. All are routed into my Yamaha LS-9 32 mixer (some via multiple 8 channel Behringer sub mixes). :)
I need DIN MIDI on everything, and I'm tired of passing up sweet gear because of that USB-only MIDI BS. Thanks Behringer for KICKING BUTT!!! MIDI Merge is a definite plus!!
Thanks. I kinda knew most of this, but I like freshing up and learning some tips. Even if I have figured out the synking via MIDI, I would love some general stuff about synking. I struggle about with synking modular with the gates, triggers and all of that stuff. So many difrent signals, and I do not know enugh about what the difrenses. Love the update to the Crave by the way! Thanks!
The Arturia Keystep is a Godsend in that it has both USB & MIDI I/O, even in a DAW-less land in which I operate. The midiIN also acts as a THRU: I’ve an MC-303 Groovebox I use as an over glorified Master Clock that sends clock data to AND through the Keystep to my modules & volcas
Behringer are just killing the game right now. Totally listening to the end users with all the new synths coming out plus new content up on RUclips all the time. Very exciting time for producer's 👍
Behringer is really catching a good piece of the synth market. Nice move! You may hate it or love it, but they are here! I don’t have one yet, but... almost there!
There are also some MIDI Routers that have USB MIDI host ports. The new Conductive Labs MRCC - MIDI Router Control Center is a fine example. It has 1 button per port routing so you don't need a computer to use it, and it has lots of 5 pin DIN ports, and 3.5MM jacks. You will need it if you have started collecting all of these great and inexpensive Behringer synths like we have!
Yeah. It's sad to see that MIDI isn't what it used to be if you have to call it "classic MIDI". I had a look into midi keyboards recently. 99% of the sh*t you find just has a USB output! 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!
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.
@tinylilmatt yep but 90% of the times they compose better than you because they know the software. That's what happens nowadays and lots of new artists doesn't even know how to play one only instrument and are less creative than you that you know how really is the mechanism of how to compose a song (in real life).
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.
@@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.
I have a really nice keyboard but I have no clue how to use it at all. It’s the Casio Privia px-3000 and I want to try and connect to my speaker and record with garage band on my iPad.
@@behringer HELLO BROTHER I AM FACING A PROBLEM I BUY A MIDI KEYBOARD AND IT HAS ONLY MIDI OUT CAN I CONNECT IT TO MY PC WITHOUT SYNTHESISER AND AUDIO CARD ?
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.
It's OBVIOUS that you guys are old... Just like you guys "love" things there are people like me who "love" anything PC and a PC will last a really, really, REALLY long time before failure. The real problem is people don't have good up keeping skills. ESPECIALLY people who make music ;)
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.
I'm glad that i got a used Miditemp MT 16 X for a few bucks. 16x16 Midi Patchbay. Free routing and channel configuration with midi effects. Great unit, didn't find anything like this from another company. Only downside is the lack of USB and the configuration has to be done with a small remote controller instead of a nice GUI. So... Uli, clone that! ;-)
MIDI used the DIN 5 pin audio conectors. In East Germany they kept this standard for audio till the end, so it wasn't hard to get a MIDI cable. Funny thing, they offered a polyphonic synthesizer and drum machine, both with MIDI.
HI! I have a setup of four Korg Volcas with a Behringer Swing keyboard. The Korgs only have one midi input ( the keyboard signal comes via a MIDI thru box), the clock comes out from the Volca Beats (drum machine), then the signal (clock) cascades back to the Swing keyboard. Now, I'd like to have a tutorial on how to set up the keyboard software, Controltribe, for various needs. For example, I wouldn't even want to have a computer while I play, but every time without the software open the keyboard doesn't work (powered via the electrical outlet). Thank you! Beautiful products! thank you!
can't wait too see the void filled where SAMPLERS is on the website - would love to see a competitor for the 404sx or something like that with full MIDI in/out/thru!
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.
Thanks for that explanatory video! But in concreto if you would explain what should I do to get my PC3A8 be connected to a PC in order to record music, shall I buy any interface tool? Thanks!
I almost always use MIDI DIN Ports. A Synth setup I use for Gigs +when using a Hammond Organ or Nord NE-2 as a main Instrument) is a small setup of an Emu Piano module, a Roland VP-03 (with keyboard) and a Behringer D. I run Everything on MIDI Channel 1 and use (depending on the unit) turning down Volumes, Switching to an unused MIDI Channel or Mute Switches to select the device.
Very well explained. Think Inunderstand ...but what if you are DAWless? What sort of mixer do you require, and does Behringer offer anything as a solution?
Good insight, thanx. My question is about the 'USB Audio' functionality. I have a Yamaha psr-s670, and I would like it to be the sound Output using a usb cable for Keyscapes plugin from my laptop. How do I go about that?
Great information! Using a setup of multiple analog synths with absolutely no computer, is there a recommendation of a hardware midi interface or mixer of sorts, that would allow me to control various synths independently, using the same master keyboard or synth, at the flip of a switch? I'm generally greatly averted to computers in life and especially in musically creative endeavors, except in the final mastering process after a song has been created and digitally mixed down via multi track recorders or remastering after the original was mixed down to tape. I am looking for that piece of equipment that would allow for use of one keyboard to control up to 5 synths (for now!), one at a time. I can currently get them to react in sync as this video described but not being able to control them independently by a quick switch. Up to this point I've been having to flip the switches on the synths and controller or through the menus as the video explains, which works in the studio but is not fluid or fast enough for live situations. There has to be a piece of hardware that does that!
Hello but you didn't explain when you hava a interface like the Apollo twin. it doesn't have midi connection ? what I do in this case ? do I have to buy a external devise midi connection to connect the KORG TRITON TO APOLLO TWIN ? BECAUSE THE TRITON IT DOESN'T HAVE USB CONNECTION
How wonderful! This is just what I was looking for about the midi usage of the DM12! I am looking to buy the Pro One and a modular SE to link them into a midi chain. About 10 years ago I had a Casio XWP1 that not only synchronized the midi chain, but also allowed you to use the sliders as a mixer, including being able to keep the sound of the Casio itself at a channel volume! Is it possible to keep the DM12 together with the synths connected to it as it did on the Casio? Thank you Behringer! I hope you continue to evolve.
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.

A great video for my idiot level of understanding. Thanks 🙏
Wondering if you could advise on my setup.
Thanks for that explanatory video! But in concreto if you would explain what should I do to get my PC3A8 be connected to a PC in order to record music, shall I buy any interface tool? Thanks!
I almost always use MIDI DIN Ports.
A Synth setup I use for Gigs +when using a Hammond Organ or Nord NE-2 as a main Instrument) is a small setup of an Emu Piano module, a Roland VP-03 (with keyboard) and a Behringer D. I run Everything on MIDI Channel 1 and use (depending on the unit) turning down Volumes, Switching to an unused MIDI Channel or Mute Switches to select the device.
You can have your DINner at MIDIday! All devices should still have these ports.
Can you Do a demonstration of using the Poly D using Usb as a midi controller device with Protools.
hey do you catch for the mens team?
Very well explained. Think Inunderstand ...but what if you are DAWless? What sort of mixer do you require, and does Behringer offer anything as a solution?
Hello thanks for this video, I have Yamaha sx900 and I am cubase user can I use sx900 voice as a sound module through midi? Thanks
What is the nice Behringer synthesizer shown at 2:39??

Great vid, thanks. Can I hook up, a td3, digitakt and keyboard to an mpc one and use that as a host with out a pc linked up?
Good insight, thanx.
My question is about the 'USB Audio' functionality. I have a Yamaha psr-s670, and I would like it to be the sound Output using a usb cable for Keyscapes plugin from my laptop. How do I go about that?
hi! how do you change the midi channel on the Poly D behringer?
thank you for your time in advance
Great information! Using a setup of multiple analog synths with absolutely no computer, is there a recommendation of a hardware midi interface or mixer of sorts, that would allow me to control various synths independently, using the same master keyboard or synth, at the flip of a switch? I'm generally greatly averted to computers in life and especially in musically creative endeavors, except in the final mastering process after a song has been created and digitally mixed down via multi track recorders or remastering after the original was mixed down to tape. I am looking for that piece of equipment that would allow for use of one keyboard to control up to 5 synths (for now!), one at a time. I can currently get them to react in sync as this video described but not being able to control them independently by a quick switch. Up to this point I've been having to flip the switches on the synths and controller or through the menus as the video explains, which works in the studio but is not fluid or fast enough for live situations. There has to be a piece of hardware that does that!
Fantastic! Thank you
Hello but you didn't explain when you hava a interface like the Apollo twin. it doesn't have midi connection ? what I do in this case ? do I have to buy a external devise midi connection to connect the KORG TRITON TO APOLLO TWIN ? BECAUSE THE TRITON IT DOESN'T HAVE USB CONNECTION
How wonderful! This is just what I was looking for about the midi usage of the DM12! I am looking to buy the Pro One and a modular SE to link them into a midi chain. About 10 years ago I had a Casio XWP1 that not only synchronized the midi chain, but also allowed you to use the sliders as a mixer, including being able to keep the sound of the Casio itself at a channel volume! Is it possible to keep the DM12 together with the synths connected to it as it did on the Casio? Thank you Behringer! I hope you continue to evolve.
Cool, I knew all this stuff except what the hell 'Soft Thru' meant on my DM6!
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.
