• In receives MIDI information from other MIDI instruments
• Thru sends whatever MIDI information is received at the In port out to other MIDI
instruments
• Out sends MIDI information generated by the V150/V110 to other MIDI instruments
The way you connect the cables determines how the instruments communicate. There are
several combinations, but there's one simple rule: one end of the cable connects to an In port,
and the other end to either an Out port or a Thru port.
Basic Connection: Master/Slave
Many people connect a second instrument to their favorite keyboard—for example, you might
want to connect a Kurzweil PC2R or other sound module to your V150/V110 to increase the
number of sounds you can play. Connecting two instruments via MIDI enables you to play both
instruments together in what is known as a master/slave configuration, with the second
instrument (the slave) controlled from the keyboard of the first (the master). Figure 4-2 shows
the simplest MIDI connection, with the cable connecting the MIDI Out port of the master
keyboard with the MIDI In port of the slave (in this case a sound module).

The slave can be any MIDI instrument or device, including computers and effects processors. If
it's a sound-generating instrument, you can plug its audio output into your sound system or
into the Audio In jacks on the V150/V110 bottom panel.
