OK - there's newbie questions and there's newbie questions. But I think I'm on a different planet here. Please just put me out of my misery and abject embarrasment and explain this to me:
I have a midi cable coming out of my soundcard joystick port. It has two standard, round, midi connectors on the other end, one with "In" written on it, the other with "Out". This I can deal with.
I also have a midi keyboard, with two, um, holes, for said cables. Again, one with "In", the other "Out". Now I'd assume that the connector with "In" on it would go in the hole with "In" on it. But that did't work.
So I thought; well, what if "In" on the connector doesn't mean "connect this to the "In" hole of the keyboard" but actually means "this carries data to go "In" to the pc" - in which case that connector would want to be going into the "Out" hole on the keyboard.
That didn't work either.
So where am I? Does an "In" go to an "In" or does an "In" go to an "Out"? Please help me before I wake up in some twisted nightmarish Hokey Cokey with no idea of where to stick it. I'm dyin' here.
