The simplest way to hook up the SD2 (or anything similar) is to:

1 Connect the computer midi out to the SD2 midi INPUT
2 Connect computer midi INPUT to the SD2 midi in
3 Connect your keyboard to another MIDI INPUT on the computer - assuming you have at least 2 midi input ports on your computer. If you only have one, then add another port. USB-Midi ports are the simplest way to do that. Or if you get a single MIDI device that has 2 Midi IN and 2 Midi OUT's will work and sometimes simplify hooking up more than 1 midi device.

I assumed that your midi keyboard does not have USB connector (new ones do, old ones don't).


If you do as in steps 1-3 you will have complete computer based control (both in and out) of the SD2 synth. This means you can have BnBox send and receive midi data from the SD2. Also your midi keyboard or other controller will be able to send midi input to the SD2 or anything else (software synths) via the computer. You won't need to send midi data to the midi keyboard unless it also contains a synth which you want to play.


Best,

Dan
