I'm ready for midi

[allenmertes]

I've been using a Delta 1010 for awhile now, and I recently purchased a Korg MS2000 synthesizer. I also have an Alesis SR-16 drum machine. I have some understanding of midi, but I'm not sure how to get started.

The Delta 1010 has midi in and midi out
The Korg has midi in, midi out, and midi thru
The SR-16 has midi in, and midi out/thru

How do you reccomend I go about linking these together? Thanks!

Korg midi out to soundcard midi in and soundcard midi out to korg midi in. Thats your essential seup. Now to trigger sounds from the drum machine use the midi thru in Korg -> midi in of drum machine.
Teh only problem is you cannot trigegr anything from drum machine in this setup. If you need both drum and Korg to trigger each other and also get triggered from software you need to but one of the midi interfaces (atleast 2in 2 out 4in 4 out better cos you may add modules later)
