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.
