Typical routing
- DAW to multiple MIDI synths: MT4 as a central MIDI hub between computer and external tools.
• USB - > guest / DAW
• MIDI OUT 1-4 - > four external MIDI devices
• MIDI IN 1-2 - > return from keyboard / controller to DAW
- Standalone patch mode: Using MT4 without active DAW guest as a simple MIDI patch / router.
• Set stand-alone patch mode
• Map MIDI IN to the required MIDI OUT
• Verify routing using the MIDI note / clock test
Connection instructions: The examples below show typical signal flows in practice. For specific details (jitter, buffering), see section above.
