Hi,
DSI (among other companies) gear does not supply the necessary power via midi for Midi solutions products to work.
The Midi solutions website has the current list of gear that does not power the Midi thru/Merge ect of their range.
http://www.midisolutions.com/faqs.htmIve been down this road before trying my Mopho, Prophet 08 and Tempest but alas no power to the Midi solutions product.
Old Korg rack stuff (EX8000 and DVP1 seem to power it)
You could get creative and use another device that the Midi out is not going to be sending to the Minitaur but DOES power the Midi solutions box and then run the Pro 2's input into the non-power input.
You will need to either use a compatible instruments midi out (I use a Korg DVP1) to power the device or purchase a powered thru from Kenton ect.
Kenton.co.uk
Kenton stuff is great quality, powers the midi lines fully and are very robust.
Hope that clarifies things!

Hey guys.
So I'm trying to connect a 5-pin DIN from Midi Thru/Out 2 to a second synthesizer (Moog Minitaur) but the messages aren't being received by the Minitaur. MIDI Port 2 Thru/Out is set to "Out" in the Global settings.
The suspicious part is, I have the main MIDI Out connected to a MIDI Solutions Quadra Thru, when I remove the MIDI cable from the Out 2 port on the PRO 2 and instead plug it into one of the four Quardra Thru outputs, the messages are passed on and I can in fact control the Minitaur.
The Minitaur simply has one 5-pin MIDI In connection.
Any idea why this might be?
Kind regards
