For all the more complex your MIDI set-up is you could go this way and this is JUST ONE WAY. This first configuration assumes you want to use your DAW all the time to play Ketron (which means PC must be on all the time just play and listen to the Ketron via its headphone jack). And to reiterate what I alluded to previously this is JUST MIDI data routing: it ASSUMES you know which MIDI channels you are sending MIDI data on, which MIDI channels on the keyboard, DAW, KETRON or other MIDI HW/SW are “listening,” etc.

Also, this has nothing to do with AUDIO routing that is a separate discussion.

1. Keyboard OUT to UR 22 MIDI IN (which allows MIDI connectivity to PC over USB),

2. Inside PC now:

-Your DAW (SONAR, BIAB, …) MIDI IN from “UR 22 MIDI port” whatever it’s called in your DAW)

-Your DAW MIDI OUT (using again the UR 22 MIDI Port )

3. UR22 MIDI OUT (which got it’s MIDI data form your DAW) to Ketron MIDI IN, and Finally completing “circuit,”

4. (see this old post for Ketron MIDI THRU or OUT) http://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=232431


option a. Ketron MIDI THRU ( to Keyboard MIDI IN. Note, using the THUR function of the Ketron allows ALL MIDI data sent by DAW to end up at keyboard (may or may not cause a MIDI feedback loop depending on your DAW settings, whether your keyboard is set for “local control” on or off, etc. OR

option b. Ketron MIDI OUT to Keyboard MIDI IN. Now what MIDI data gets to keyboard is dependent on other factors


OR you could go this way (keyboard local control on – this then sends data to Ketron and PC but also triggers internal Keyboard sounds & patches/programs directly) Neither this configuration or the next one are recommended - they are just optional config's.



1. Keyboard MIDI OUT to Ketron MIDI IN

2. Ketron MIDI THRU to UR 22 MIDI IN – this allows MIDI connectivity to PC over USB and also allows all keyboard sent MIDI data to make it into the PC DAW. HOWEVER, the draw back is NO DAW MIDI DATA CAN BE SENT TO THE Ketron directly. All data from DAW to Ketron would have to go from DAW to Keyboard to Ketron which is a recipe for disaster and a MIDI loop.

[Again see this for setting Ketron thru or out

Inside PC again:

-Your DAW (SONAR, BIAB, …) MIDI IN using the “UR 22 MIDI port” – whatever it’s called in your DAW)

-Your DAW MIDI OUT (using again the UR 22 MIDI Port ) , and again to complete the "circuit:"

3. UR22 MIDI OUT to Keyboard MIDI IN

OR you could go this way (keyboard local control off – this then sends data to Ketron and PC but DOES NOT trigger internal Keyboard sounds & patches/programs - MIDI data must come back to the keyboard from outside of itself before the keyboard will make any sounds, and in this configuration that would be your DAW) - and again this is not a recommended config for you just a possibility

2. Ketron MIDI THRU to UR 22 MIDI IN – this allows MIDI connectivity to PC over USB and also allows all keyboard sent MIDI data to make it into the PC DAW. Again the drawback is NO DAW MIDI DATA CAN BE SENT TO THE Ketron directly. All data from DAW to Ketron would have to go from DAW to Keyboard to Ketron which is (again) a recipe for disaster and a MIDI loop.

-Your DAW MIDI OUT (using again the UR 22 MIDI Port ) , and again to complete the circuit:

3. UR22 MIDI OUT to Keyboard MIDI IN – if you want the keyboard "key push" to trigger internal keyboard sounds/programs/patches in this configuration then you must make sure to use the MIDI THRU of the Ketron AND ensure your DAW also has and allows MIDI THRU, otherwise data that you wanted to send back to the keyboard itself to trigger its sounds from keyboard “key pushes’ via this circuitous route will never make it back to trigger those sounds.
