4) Whatever your setup, if you want to record the knob movements you make on
Spin Doctor into your sequencer, then you need the MIDI OUT of Spin Doctor
connected to the MIDI IN of your computer, and whatever you might previously
have had plugged into the MIDI IN of the computer should now be plugged into
the MIDI IN of Spin Doctor. This is shown in the diagram below.

5) For connecting Spin Doctor up to a Control Freak we recommend that you
connect the MIDI OUT of the Control Freak to the MIDI IN on Spin Doctor, and
the MIDI OUT of Spin Doctor to the MIDI IN on your computer. In this way, you
can edit Spin Doctor from the Control Freak during your working session, as well
as use both devices as either independent controller units, or as one unit e.g. for
controlling 32 channels of a software mixer.

6) If you are using a keyboard that has its own internal sounds then you may
want to use these in your setup too. With Spin Doctor you can access these
sounds quickly and easily, even in a live situation. One could use Spin Doctor to
make a featureless digital synth as easy to control as the original analogue
synths of yesteryear.

Advanced Set-Ups

In more complicated setups there may be situations where MIDI Thru boxes,
merge boxes and switch boxes will come in handy. Kenton can supply high
quality versions of these, together with a full range of MIDI leads and other
sundries. Contact us via the details found at the back of this manual.
