By setting MIDI Thru to "on," the MIDI data generated by playing the keyboard and transmitted to the computer will be returned back to the MOX6/MOX8. As shown in the example below, the MIDI data transmitted from the MOX6/MOX8 then recorded to the computer via MIDI channel 1 will be returned back from the computer to the MOX6/MOX8 via MIDI channel 3 according to the setting of the recording Track. As a result, the tone generator of the MOX6/MOX8 will sound the MIDI data generated by playing the keyboard as MIDI data from channel 3.
