MIDI Connections

midi - connect ko ii to other gear, computers, and controllers

ko ii has: MIDI in, MIDI out, and USB-MIDI (via USB-C)

midi in - receive data:

  • play ko ii from an external keyboard
  • receive clock/transport from a DAW
  • sync tempo from other hardware

midi out - send data:

  • sequence external synths from ko ii
  • send clock to other gear
  • per-pad MIDI output (see midi-out topic)

usb-c does multiple things:

  • MIDI over USB to computer (no interface needed)
  • powers the unit
  • firmware updates
  • sample transfer via the app

connect a midi keyboard: plug into MIDI in → keys control the currently selected group velocity and note data are received
