MOTU MIDI Express XT [31/94] The routings tab

CLOCKWORKS

THE ROUTINGS TAB

The Routings tab provides an easy and powerful way for

you to route MIDI data from any device connected to your

MOTU interface to any other device connected to it. This

window provides you with complete control over the ﬂow

of MIDI data through the interface.

Figure 5-2: The Routings Tab for the MIDI Express XT. The micro express has 4

inputs on the left and 6 outputs on the right.

Cable routing to and from the computer

In MOTU USB MIDI interfaces, all MIDI inputs and

outputs are always connected to the computer. Therefore,

in ClockWorks, routings to and from the computer are not

shown in the Routings tab. Use the Routings tab to make

routings directly from inputs to outputs, or to make

connections between the computer and the MMC or MTC

ports.

Making a connection

To route MIDI directly from a MIDI device to any other,

click the source cable icon on the left and drag to the

destination cable icon on the right.

Connecting one input to multiple outputs

To connect an input to more than one output, make each

connection separately as described in the previous

section. As a shortcut, shift-drag from the input cable on

the left over to the ﬁrst output, and then drag directly to

each additional output on the right. As you “touch” each

output, it highlights and a connection is made.
