It's crazy cool to me that MIDI was made exactly 40 years ago and it stood the trial of time to this day. Dave Smith and Sequential had a huge impact on the modern music industry and I think many people don't realize, as they're not nearly as big as Korg or Yamaha. By the way you said MIDI was invented by Dave Smith Instruments - they were actually called Sequential back then and DSI is the name they had to take for the recent couple of years after they decided to reactivate their brand and they eventually reclaimed the rights to use the original name - Sequential. They were the first that allowed musical instruments to talk to each other in a modern way. They also revolutionized synthesizers, connecting the analog with digital and taking the best out of each domain. Dave passed away a year ago. Rest in peace Dave :(
What an excellent video. Well done! A short explanation on how to use MIDI THRU to synch with gear. The Daisy Chain ideas simply brilliant. Thanks for putting this together.
This was really useful. As someone new to this, I often get a bit confused over what USB does and does NOT accomplish. Thanks for putting this up - subscribed!
This has been one of the most useful videos on MIDI Ive found I t eh last few years! I really like your relatable mindset as opposed to channels from conpanies that only present the viewer with a product to buy demo'd by a 'pro'. It's great to have a sense of community
This is what I needed! Why is it so damn hard to find information on how to do this 0_0 setting up a home studio soon and need to understand how to control multiple desktop synths from one midi keyboard thankyou!!! ✌️
oh snap. ive have formally surpassed previous incarnations of geekdom, and have entered the midi twilight zone. i actually understood exactly how you chain everything, and even what equipment you are using. i dig the euro synths! im using all native instrument gear, with a couple token pieces of akai pro audio. to be fair and honest, i did learn to program general midi c back in the middle 90s when i was working as an Apple Multimedia developer. Ill also say that todays midi gear is so far beyond what we began with back in the day. general midi was , to paraphrase einstein, spooky from a distance, and we referred to the phenomena as voodoo, as we also used the term scsi voodoo. sometimes it worked, sometimes it didnt, hence the name voodoo, and scsi voodoo. crap. i just dated my self. im old as dirt apparently, but kickin out some decent progressive trance, and post industrial groove porn, with a new album scheduled for release towards the end of the year. you my young friend, upon seeing what youre working with, appear to have a bright future, indeed. cheers.
Thanks! That is exactly what I needed to know. Quick and to the point. This is why I like you. I am such a noob about MIDI. My mind glazes over, when it comes up..but it's becoming essential, now that I'm really trying to do a synth rig.
Oh really.......just like that you can summarize what a DAW can and can't do after a year of making music? If you did a deep dive on your software you used you would probably feel overwhelmed pretty quickly. Hybrid setups are the most effective.
Omg! I wish you were my neighbor. I’ve recently decided to take all my gear that i have collected over the years and get serious about making music. Trying to organize and hook it all together was driving me insane! I’m so glad to have found your videos! FYI- jealous of all your beautifully organized synths😊
Great video, the only disadvantage to a setup like this is that all your gear in the chain has to be powered on... Normally midi-thru ports are not working without powering up.. few exceptions that hardwire midi-in to miti-thru
Thank you for this simple quick video! I'm a guitarist who is just getting into synths. Bought a digitakt, and just got a minilogue XD. This was really helpful, thanks!
I have been scanning the web and came across this excellent tutorial from you. I just purchased a BOSS RC-300 looper pedal and I own a Casio CT-680, Yamaha PSR-530, Yamaha DJX, and Roland EXR-5. Looking forward to utilizing these with the daisy chain setup.
You're too smart for my non-English brain, I'm having to watch this on 1/2 speed (you don't even sound drunk at 1/2 speed btw), but this is the first good video on midi I've found, and I've watched about twenty, so thank you!
That's cause I was full drunk when I made this video lol JK I talk pretty fast, specially when I'm excited- this I know ':) I might make an updated version of this video now that it's been a few years and I've gathered more knowledge on the subject !
@@JAdeWii_ please do! maybe add an explanation for how one controller can be connected to several devices but only trigger one at a time, or wther it's possible to also daisy chain controllers; I would like to have something like the behringerb101 floor board as well as an 88 key keyboard AND a fader controller of some sort controlling my VSTs. Also: I still don't understand what the difference is between mid in/out and midi thru
Great video. It is worth mentioning that you are using midi clock. I used to be confused about the difference between midi clock and midi time code. Midi clock simply transmits simple start, stop, continue and song position commands. A clock "tick" is transmitted 96 times per beat (if I remember correctly). I like how you set up the volcas along with the pocket operators. Where do you get all those nice stands from?
Great video ma'am... Very detailed explanation.. This was my biggest query on synth Thank you so much, Keep it up with your music ma'am... May God bless you n your family Love from India ... Stay safe, stay healthy
so before you brought the key lab into the mix, the octatrack was controlling your set up? When you plugged the keylab into the octa track the key lab became your master?
Great video! One question, do you need to set the individual slave devices to a certain midi channel in order to get tempo info or does that translate regardless of the midi channel?
Great video. Quick question. If I'm using Logic Pro X as my main songwriting and production program that would be considered my brain right? I'm trying to hook up a Moog Voyager, Prophet 6, Moog Taurus and a Prophet 600 all with midi. Would you suggest something more like a Motu Microlite USB unit since I'm going into Logic instead of a sampler?
I agree with others about a more in-depth analysis of midi . I most of the manuals they seem to assume you must know what CC , program change etc is and how to use it. I would be good to show same examples using different hardware
Thanks for this. I'm pretty experienced with setting up midi but still end up with frustrating issues. My sp404 mk2 keeps wobbling on the tempo when I try to sync it from tascam model 12 and it sounds super sloppy. Everything else works as expected so it's disappointing such an incredible piece of gear is so finicky... I know you have a 404 Jade. Have you had any problems with the clock. I can literally see the tempo bouncing around by a few bpm
Probably a dumb question but I'm just getting into this hobby. Do each of the individual synths need to have audio coming out of them into your Speakers/Computer/Headphones? Or is it just the master that needs to have audio out to a way to record/listen? I cant seem to grasp what is actually passing the audio being generated off to a way for me to listen or record. Great video by the way, goes a great distance in helping me understand all this stuff.
What would you recommend for my current setup? Drum machine: _Behringer RD-9_ Synths: _KORG Microkorg, KORG Minilogue_ DAWless is cool if I were to be performing live at an actual gig, but in my bedroom or living room, I would like to record my performance in DAW (Ableton Live). I have an audio interface (Behringer UMC202HD) which I think should be enough, but i've also been considering getting a mixer (Mackie ProFX 12v3) to connect the gear to Until then, should I just plug the Behringer RD-9 and one of the two synths into the preamps of the audio interface via mono TRS cables and record my performance in DAW? Or would that not work like that? I'm so lost here, but this video makes sense. Just not sure how I'd apply it to my baby setup
Could you briefly explain why you use the elektron synth as the "brain"? Is it determining BPM for all the other synths and modules? Or are there other reasons?
that went from 0 to confusing in .00008 seconds ! This is probably good for people with years of experience with MIDI. It doesn't help people just starting out.
Do you have a video showing how to start/stop sync and note input OCTATRACK to Mother and mother SYNCING the DFAM up to it all? Settings for Octa and the Mother set up process. Let me watch this again! Hope you have a splendid holiday and you are well!
This vid is as informative as it is rare. Major props! I have an old rack mount version: The TC Helicon Voiceworks which does have 'in,' 'thru,' and 'out,' options. All I want to do is send it into an old Yamaha synth that has 'in' and 'out' midi. Would I simply run the 'in' and 'thru' cables to the back of the Yamaha? Thx.
wow!! very clear. really informative. kinda helps... no, not kinda... this really helps take some of the heebie-jeebies out of getting the heck off of the mouse & computer & getting rolling with a hardware rig... which, despite my fears & very limited understanding of things, is exactly what I'm in the middle of doing. so I can't thank you enough for helping me along with vids like this one.
Where did you get that volca rack from? Is it possible to purchase one? Great video too. I’ve been daisy chaining my volcas and didn’t even know it. I just thought it’s working keep it like that. Hey could you do a video on what the term brain refers to, and which brains do you like the best? Cost ,abilities and function? Congratulation on finishing your album too. Thanks again.
Hi, I need an advice. For avoid latency is better to connect my master keyboard to PC and through the PC controlling the external synth sounds while I play masterkeyboard, or should I connect the masterkeyboard directly into the external synth via midi? Does the latency change in this case??
Whaaaat !!!! You Gooo Mija you go!!! Never seen a woman do this !!! Very impressive. Hola my synth is the Roland Fantom X6 and it’s an old but goody however it has no usb but it has the Midi-dim in/out/thru… I’m using my Behringer Interface to go to my Windows 10 DAW. >>> do I go out of my Fantom.X6 into my In of my Behringer Interface then Look for it in my DAW STUDIO ONE 6.5??? Thank you for your tut and for your help!!!
Hello, thank you for your great video. Sorry, this is probably a silly question : what do you need the Quadra for ? Can't you just send the clock from the Octatrack into all your other synths using the daisy chain ?
Hello! One question. I have the UNO Synth and I'm planning to buy a drum machine such as the Volca Beats or the Volca Drum. So if I'm right, I could connect the UNO midi-out to the Volca midi-in so I can control the tempo (and the sequencer) of the Volca using the UNO? Basically, syncronize the Volca to the UNO? Sorry if they're silly questions, I'm new to the world of synts. Thanks!!
WOW! That's quite a setup you have. May I ask how long you've been using your gear? The reason I ask is because, I've had mine for a year and I am still struggling to learn it all. Actually, it's more of a memorization issue. I have no problem following instructions to the tee, as I wish they were always written. Great video! Thank you. ;-)
Been making music with keyboard for 17+ years, been into hardware for 8 years. The more you do something the better you get at it. I don’t even have to look on the back of some of my machines to plug stuff in, but that might be from rearranging my setup a million times haha just keep at it!
Question, is it possible to go from a midi out (music) to two music keyboards with speakers and have them play the same thing? Sounds like MIDI Thru isn’t what I need.
Hi Jade. I have four volcas including a volca sample. What sequencer would you recommend to control them via Midi? I like battery powered. WHat hardware do I need to connect these sweet sweet music box thingies? Please.
I barely found out about this but "Ikutaro Kakehashi" founder of "Roland" was a key to the development & collaborator with Dave Smith for the invention of the "MIDI" , they both received an award for the contribution/invention.... Very informative video tho !
Thank you. One question about "Daisy Chain" is it always out ---> in unidirectional? or can you sometimes use bi-directional MIDI connection between 2 synths in the chain?
How does audio get out of all the devices? Like 1 drum machine and 4 synths, do you have to have an interface with 5 trs inputs? Do you chain the output of one to the input of the next so eventually one device is getting the sound from all the others?
It's crazy cool to me that MIDI was made exactly 40 years ago and it stood the trial of time to this day. Dave Smith and Sequential had a huge impact on the modern music industry and I think many people don't realize, as they're not nearly as big as Korg or Yamaha.

They also revolutionized synthesizers, connecting the analog with digital and taking the best out of each domain. Dave passed away a year ago. Rest in peace Dave :(
😢
Atari ST and the like were using MIDI ports on their Computer way before them people started using MIDI on Synths
Why has it taken me 5 years to find this kind of a video... WTF
Dude.. why has it taken me 30 years to submit and use midi.. I've been beat matching my machines like a dj my whole life haha
Feeling like going to college for 5 plus years was a waste of time. You have taught me so much thanks
Concise, quick, and no frills/ego. A+ work, Jade! Thank you!
The korg/pocket operator setup you have is pretty awesome.
What an excellent video. Well done! A short explanation on how to use MIDI THRU to synch with gear. The Daisy Chain ideas simply brilliant. Thanks for putting this together.

That's a really useful video, I use the daisy chain method but I have been thinking of getting one of the thru boxes
I do as well, but I don't feel a need to get a thru box until I finally get a brain, namely the Novation Circuit.
Really well explained. I use a DAW but still got all my hardware from back in the day. Hope to get it all plugged in soon.
