midi question

[kneipp123]

if i buy a midi solutions quadra thru, will i be able to send signals on different midi channels?

for example midi channel 1 , 2, 3 , 4 sending midi from reaper to a drum machine, synth , synth and sampler?

That is a thru box. The signal from the input goes to all of the four outputs unchanged.

There's nothing stopping you from sending MIDI on 4 (or more) different channels but it will go to all the connected devices and you'll have to set each of them up to respond only to their own particular channel(s). That's how MIDI works.

Hi,

The reason you may need to use that is because daisy chaining midi devices usually screws up at more than two devices. But it depends, usually, on the devices used.

i just found this thing i forgot that i had.

ive used it for midi input into a laptop before, but found out that i can use both midi ports as outputs and send midi to a sampler and a synth

next i will try to use midi thru on the sampler to send to a third device. so maybe i dont need the quadra thru just yet.

thanks for the help.
