Revision 0.5
The above illustration shows three MIDI sound modules daisy chained using two extra MIDI
cables. MIDI data originates from iConnectMIDI, from the MIDI OUT connector the MIDI IN
connector of the first instrument. From the first instrument, a MIDI cable is connected to its
MIDI THRU connector and into the second instrument's MIDI IN connector. A similar
connection is made between subsequent MIDI instruments (MIDI THRU to MIDI IN).
All MIDI instruments in the chain must be set to respond to one or more MIDI channels (1-16).
Multitimbral instruments (or instruments that can be set to multitimbral mode) can respond to
more than one MIDI channel at a time. If more than one instrument is set to respond to the
same MIDI channel, then all instruments set to that MIDI channel will play simultaneously,
creating a rich, multi-layered sound.

Multiple USB controllers

Several USB MIDI controllers can be connected into a system at one time by using a readily
available and inexpensive USB hub, available at any computer supply store. USB hubs contain
two or more USB-A ports, allowing for multiple USB devices to be connected. Their data is
aggregated and carried over a single USB cable that connects the hub to iConnectMIDI.
