Midi thru to USB?

Elektron Gear Model:Samples
1

Can’t seem to get midi input to pass data thru to USB. Is it possible?

I haven’t tried it myself yet, but what about these settings?

Config Menu
-MIDI
–Ports
—Out to : USB
----Out/Thru: Thru

Thanks. Yeah I went through all that and it didn’t work in my case. It looks very simple and it “should” work. I’m not new to MIDI and wondered if it works for other people.
Maybe I was doing something stupid will try again

If your M:S is on OS version 1.13, then if MOUT is activated in the Track Setup menu then the track will forward incoming MIDI note data to the MIDI Out port (and presumably also the USB MIDI Out, if configured for use).

I don’t know specifically whether the incoming note messages should be on the MIDI channel set for the track or only on the Auto Channel.

It looks like I can forward program change and note data, but not cc data, does that seem right?

Sorry to revive an old topic but I am also struggling with this.

I have a keyboard midi out going to my m:s and the m:s sending midi over USB to my computer with a midi monitor to see the messages.

I’ve been able to get notes and cc to show up on the computer after adjusting some settings (the ENCS setting was key for allowing cc to go over midi) but still not seeing any of my keyboard midi notes show up on the monitor even though it triggers the m:s as expected.

To get sequenced notes, and encoder CCs you need to set midi to OUT. To get your keyboard notes you need to set midi to THRU.

I have a feeling theres a very limited extension to this with the last firmware update. If I find it I’ll update this post.

EDIT: Yes, there is a sort of a hack for this. See this post and the following one.

I haven’t read the thread too closely, but you can’t send MIDI data into an Elektron via a USB cable and then pass it on 1:1 with MIDI Thru output using a MIDI pin cable. You need some cable that has an inbuilt host device that translates the USB MIDI data to DIN MIDI data.

@bibenu 's solution worked for me.

I was able to route midi channel 1 to AUTO. Then with Track 1 MOUT enabled, Track 1 set to Midi Channel 1, MIDI OUT set to M+U and then finally filtering ENCS set to I+E to enable the CC messages from parameter and FX knobs.

@Azzarole your response seems to describe the opposite (Sending Midi from computer all the way through to the Midi Out of the M:S, which I’ll revisit once I inevitably try to do that as well.

Thanks.
