Hello there.

I have added a new element to my midi chain with a Korg X5DR. I want to run it after the Roland SC55.
I am surprised to see that MIDI THRU of the SC55 passes data to MIDI IN of the X5DR from the MIDI IN 1 of the SC55 (the port at the back) but not from MIDI IN 2 (the port at the front).
The manual just says that MIDI IN 1 and 2 are merged, not that MIDI IN 2 shall be an end for the MIDI chain.
That's disappointing, i need to pass MIDI datas to the Korg from both SC55 MIDI IN.

Any idea about this?

I have tested also my spare SC55 and it has the same behaviour with INT2 not routed to the THRU port but INT1 yes.
That's strange because it is unlikely that two units might have the same fault, but i remember having read on the forum someone who said INT2 was sending signal to THRU.
