UMB06 | How to Verify the UMB06 Function?

UMB06 is a 3-in-1 MIDI box - 4i/4o USB MIDI, MIDI Merge, and MIDI Thru. Using UMB06 can be a bit complex for beginners in MIDI composition. To effectively utilize UMB06, it's important to understand its three operational modes:

1. 4i/4o USB MIDI
In this mode, you connect UMB06 to your computer using a USB A-B cable.

2. MIDI Merger
For standalone use in MIDI Merger mode, it's recommended to avoid connecting UMB06 to the computer. Instead, connect the USB A-B cable to a regular USB charger.

3. MIDI Thru
Similarly, for standalone use in MIDI Thru mode, it's advised not to connect UMB06 to the computer. Connect the USB A-B cable to a regular USB charger.

Most issues occur in the USB-MIDI mode due to the multiple inputs and outputs. Here's a simple solution for beginners when encountering "issues":

1. Windows system: Use MIDI-OX, a user-friendly and easily understandable software.
 - Download & Install MIDI-OX ( www.midiox.com )
 - Connect Hardwares Properly.
 - Run MIDI-OX & Make MIDI Routing Settings
