Common Kenton Thru-12 MIDI Thru Box Questions
How do I cascade multiple Thru-12 units together to create even more MIDI Thru outputs?
You can cascade the Thru-12 by connecting the 'Thru' output of the first unit to the 'In' of the second unit, and so on. Just be mindful of potential MIDI timing delays with excessively long chains.
What do the LEDs on each output indicate, and what should I do if one isn't lighting up when MIDI data is being sent?
The LEDs indicate MIDI data activity on that specific output. If an LED isn't lighting up despite MIDI data being sent to the Thru-12's input, check the connected MIDI cable, the receiving device, and confirm that the Thru-12 is powered and functioning correctly.
Can the Kenton Thru-12 merge MIDI data from multiple inputs, or does it only operate as a thru box?
The Thru-12 is strictly a Thru box, meaning it replicates the MIDI data it receives at its input to all its outputs simultaneously. It does *not* merge MIDI data from different sources.
What is the maximum length of MIDI cable I can use on each output without signal degradation?
While technically MIDI cables can run up to 50 feet, for reliable operation with the Thru-12 across all outputs, it's generally recommended to keep cable lengths to 25 feet or less to minimize potential signal loss or timing issues, especially when multiple devices are connected.
Does the Kenton Thru-12 require any specific driver installation on my computer?
No, the Kenton Thru-12 is a hardware MIDI Thru box and doesn't require any drivers to be installed on your computer. It operates independently of your computer's MIDI interface.
