Midi Thru is for use with either OMS or Midi Manager. If you don't know what these are, then you don't need Midi Thru. Midi Thru simply connects a controlling synth to a slave synth. Midi Thru allows you to slave a synth, sending on the midi channel of your choice. It's great for those times when you want to write lyrics in your word processor and don't have enough memory left to fire up your memory hogging midi sequencer or if you just want to jam on that favorite synth module. Its a simple program that does one thing and one thing well. It's a Midi Thru !!!! Midi Thru works on any mac running sys 7.0 and up with at least 1.75 meg of free ram. Midi Thru is a fat binary application, which means it will run natively on Power Macs. Midi Thru supports the following Items as through items:
Pitch Bend
Modulation Wheel
Volume Pedal
Sustain Pedal
Poly After Touch
and Presure (for Mr Hughes)
Best of all Midi Thru is absolutely FREE of charge.
Yes, thats no $$$BUCKS$$$!
To use Midi thru select midi setup from the file menu, click on auto setup and click OK. Then click Midi Thru's configure button. Midi thru now knows what your OMS or Midi Manager setup is. At this point you simply select an input instrument (controlling synth) from the input pulldown menu and an output instrument (slave synth) from the output pulldown menu. Then select the midi channel you want the slave synth to receive on. Now play your controlling synth and you should hear the slave synth as long as it's set to recieve on the selected midi channel.
