Common Kenton Thru-5 MIDI Thru Box Questions
How do I connect multiple MIDI devices to the Kenton Thru-5 to distribute MIDI data to them all?
Simply connect the MIDI Out of your MIDI source (e.g., keyboard, sequencer) to the MIDI In on the Thru-5. Then, connect the MIDI Out of each Thru-5 output (1-5) to the MIDI In of each of your MIDI devices.
Does the Kenton Thru-5 introduce any latency or timing issues when splitting the MIDI signal?
The Kenton Thru-5 is designed to be a low-latency device, meaning any timing degradation introduced by splitting the signal is minimal and generally imperceptible in most musical applications.
Is the Kenton Thru-5 powered, and what kind of power supply does it require?
Yes, the Kenton Thru-5 requires external power. It uses a standard 9-12V DC power supply with a center-positive barrel connector (check the included manual for specific voltage and amperage requirements).
My MIDI data isn't reaching all of my connected devices. What are some common causes and how can I troubleshoot this?
First, ensure all MIDI cables are securely connected and functional. Second, confirm that the MIDI channels your source is sending on are being received by each of your destination devices (check their MIDI settings).
Does the Kenton Thru-5 offer any filtering or re-channelization of MIDI data, or does it purely act as a splitter?
The Kenton Thru-5 is a pure MIDI thru box, meaning it simply duplicates the incoming MIDI data and sends it to all outputs without any filtering, re-channelization, or other modification. For filtering features, consider Kenton's MIDI filter products.
