MIDI Routing Examples
You can create "MIDI stacks" by routing
one input to more than one output. In
Figure 7.18 one arrow routes the Master-
man-88 to the ProMaker/1 and the other
routes the Masterman-88 to the Vectorific
sound module. With this setup, the Mas-
terman-88 plays both synthesizers on the
same MIDI channel transmitted by the
Masterman-88.
Figure 7.18: Simple MIDI Stack Routing
You can route your entire band through
the Studio 4. Look at the MIDI routing in
Figure 7.19 and notice that the Master-
man-88 plays the ProMaker/1, the
GeoSkin drum pads control the Banger
Man II drum machine, and the MIDI
Tuba plays a Vectorific/Digiwhiz 2000
MIDI stack.

Routing Caveat
There are two instances when it may not
be desirable to define any MIDI routings:
• When using a sequencing application
Most sequencers (such as Vision or
Performer) control MIDI routing
within the application. You use the
sequencer to route MIDI inputs to
MIDI outputs. Be aware that these
routings can be active at the same
time as routings established in the
RCM window and, unless your care-
ful, could cause unwanted MIDI
thruing and extra sounds.
• When using an OMS patch
OMS patches (discussed in the
Studio Patches Editor manual) allow
you to design very advanced MIDI
routing and processing paths using
the Macintosh (instead of the
Studio 4) to process MIDI data. Be
