MIDI messages from the MIDI device (e.g, MIDI keyboard, digital piano) connected to the UM-1EX's MIDI IN
cable are transmitted to the computer.
* Don't change the setting of the THRU switch while you're using the UM-1EX. Doing so will cause MIDI errors.
If you are experiencing duplicate notes (i.e., if your sound generating device plays two notes for each note it should play), turn
