Техническая Спецификация для Iconnectivity ICONNECT MIDI2+L icmidi-02L

convenient and cost-effective to add, say, an iPad to your music-making set-up.

USB is a bidirectional protocol that’s fast enough to carry a wide variety of things 
simultaneously – audio, MIDI, printer hookups, keyboards and mouses, etc. Some MIDI 
instruments today have USB connections instead of the standard DIN ports, in other 
words they have the equivalent of built-in MIDI interfaces that connect directly to a 
computer.

Those devices don’t need to go through the iConnectMIDI

2+

. Plug them directly into 

your computer, to which they’ll appear as additional MIDI interfaces. You can route 
MIDI from the computer to the iConnectMIDI

2+

 (and anything connected to it). If you 

run out of USB ports, USB hubs are very inexpensive.

The iConnectMIDI

2+

 has two pairs of MIDI DIN plugs. What if you have three 

instruments? Or six?

Well, most MIDI instruments have MIDI In,Thru [sic], and Out ports, normally positioned 
in that order; and each MIDI port has 16 MIDI channels. Thru ports echo what’s coming 
into the device’s MIDI in.

So you connect an iConnectMIDI

2+

 MIDI DIN out to your first instrument’s In, your first 

instrument’s Thru to your second instrument’s In, your second instrument’s Thru to 
your third instrument’s In, and (not shown in the illustration above) your third 
instrument’s Out to the iConnectMIDI

2+

 MIDI DIN in. And so on.

You will almost certainly want to divide the 16 MIDI channels on each port between the 
instruments so that they don’t all play at once, and there is only one MIDI at the end of 
the chain. Daisy-chaining lots of instruments is not ideal. For larger set-ups we offer the 
iConnectMIDI

4+

, which among other features has four pairs of MIDI DINs and support 

for three computer devices.
