Daisy Chaining Instruments

Typically, one end is connected to a connector labeled OUT or THRU on one device and the
other end is connected to IN on the other device. This allows data to be transmitted from the
first to the second device. Connect to the OUT connector if the source device will be "played",
i.e. will be generating new MIDI events. Connect to the THRU connector if the device will not be
generating new MIDI events but merely passing MIDI events along from a previous source; this
device will generally have its IN connector attached to by another cable and is a form of daisy-
chaining MIDI devices.
