The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

I have a MU100R with a to host port. To it is a lead going into my serial port, using Yamaha CBX drivers you get 4 midi out ports and 1 in all multi client.
I also use the midi in and out port on the MU100R to send and recieve patches to an EMU module and it works fine.

  I haven't played with the TG100, however all other Yamaha devices that I
  use with TO HOST do allow routing of MIDI to/from the external ports. So
  assuming the TG100 also provides this, then what you propose should
  work. (However check the manual to confirm the TG100 capability as it is
  an old module, it should show a diagram of the TO HOST routing)

  Ok, will do my best to describe what I am trying to achieve here and 
  hope it all makes sense to you guys. I have many talents but getting 
  my head round midi is apparently not one of them.

  I have an old laptop, a ThinkPad 760EL, well actually I have two of 
  them. One is running Win98 the other 2000 pro. No usb. I want to use 
  this laptop to run AN1x edit to send patches etc to my AN1x. 
  Apparently I can buy a serial midi interface connecting to the 9 pin 
  serial port. This will cost me around 80 pounds sterling. I have 
  however looked at another solution. The Yamaha TG100 sound module has 
  a "To Host" 8pin mini din socket, which connects, to the 9 pin serial 
  port on the laptop. This has midi in, out and thru connections. I can 
  pick one of these up for around 50 pounds or less. So this is the 
  cheaper option and I also get a GM sound module. My question is this. 
  If I connect the sound module to the laptop, then my AN1x to the midi 
  ports on the sound module, will I still be able to send/receive 
  patches on the AN1x? Obviously the computer is no longer directly 
  connected to the midi in of the AN1x but is going through the sound 
  module. Does this mean the sound module will receive the signal and 
  not the AN1x?

  All this means is that I have to connect the midi in and out from the 
  sound module to the in and out of the AN1x. If I want to use the An1x 
  as the master controller on my set-up, does this mean I have to then 
  connect the midi thru on the AN1x to the next instrument in my set-
  up. If so then what is the best way to do this. Do I need a midi thru 
  box? I have a Korg N364, an Alesis Data disk and a Boss Dr77o all to 
  hook up to the system.

  Sorry for so many questions. This is doing my head in.

  Thanks for your time.

  Alan
