USING MOTU USB MIDI PORTS

REPLACING DISKS

If your MOTU USB software CD becomes

damaged or lost, our Customer Support

Department will be glad to replace it. Or you can

download the latest version of the drivers and

consoles from www.motu.com.

THE MIDI THRU BUTTON

The MIDI THRU button on the front of the

FastLane-USB, when pushed in, creates a direct

connection from each MIDI IN connector to its

corresponding MIDI OUT connector. For

example, data received on MIDI IN A is routed

directly to MIDI OUT A. Similarly, data received

on MIDI IN B is routed directly to MIDI OUT B.

This provides a direct connection from the MIDI

device connected to the input to a different device

connected to the output. For example, you could

use your MIDI controller connected to MIDI IN A

to play a MIDI sound module connected to MIDI

OUT A, without the need to run any MIDI

software on the computer.

When MIDI THRU is engaged, MIDI

communication to and from the computer is

temporarily disabled. The USB cable connection

to the computer is still required, however, as it

supplies power to the FastLane-USB. Therefore,

MIDI THRU mode still requires the USB cable to

be connected to the computer, and the computer

must be turned on.
