Midi Thru in upcoming 1.6.0?

Question

I'm trying to hook up a midi keyboard to MD (ipad thru Line 6 mobilizer II) to a sound module to be able Bank Select, Program Change, Control Change for quick access during live performance. Will "midi thru" be included/added to the upcoming 1.6.0 release? Thank you for the reply. Happy New Year 2014

Hi and thanks for your question. It's now been incorporated in MIDI Designer 1.6 (came out just today), but it's only possible for a keyboard that's plugged in to the MIDI Mobilizer II (unfortunately, but this is due to a technical limitation in CoreMIDI) or other hardware port. Please let us know if this is helpful for you in any case, or not.

Thanks!

Hi there, I've downloaded MD 1.6 Hooked up a keyboard Midi OUT to IN Line6 Mobilizer II and OUT to Sound Module IN. I could change the Banks and able to use Program Change on the MD but no sound. On the mobiliser II the OUT LED does not light when I play any keys. What am I doing wrong or am I missing anything? Thanks.

yeah, we have to do a video on this, but if you look at Connections in Config you should see a "thru" button. Let me know if you can find this, and if it works for you. Thanks!

Hi again. Yes I tried the "thru" button ticked and untick doesn't help at all. However the MIDI IN LED (Line 6 mobilizer II) blinks vigorously. Thinking that must be the keyboards clock MIDI OUT timing but the keyboard (Korg K49) is only a controller that does not have START/STOP functions. Any ideas?
