Setting the MIDI Thru

With the initial default settings (MIDI Select = USB,
MIDI Thru = MIDI → USB), MIDI messages
received via the MIDI IN connector of the KX will be
transmitted through the USB TO HOST connector
(USB MIDI Port 1). As necessary, you can change
the MIDI Thru setting so that MIDI messages
received via the MIDI IN connector can be
transmitted through the MIDI OUT connector, or the
MIDI messages received via the USB TO HOST
connector (USB MIDI Port 1) can be transmitted
through the MIDI OUT connector.

Owner's Manual
Keep in mind that the KX cannot be used as
a MIDI interface for the computer and
another MIDI device. Although MIDI
messages are transferred from the computer
to the MIDI device when the MIDI Thru
parameter is set to "USB→MIDI" and vice
versa when the MIDI Thru parameter is set
to "MIDI→USB," two-way communication
between the computer and the MIDI device
are not possible.
