Before we go any further, realize this is all conjecture as I haven't tried it yet. What I was visualizing was looping the MIDI output back to the MIDI input to drive SS. If you're driving a bunch of synthesizers, you could just loop via the THRUs and bring the signal back to the input. Granted tapping into the MIDI OUT would be cleaner and more convenient… IF it works. Depending on how SS and KCS handle the serial port, it may not. If, for example, SS taps in at the serial.device and KCS drives the hardware directly, you'll never hear a peep. There is also a question of whether you can even convince SS to take input from what it thinks is an output. As to how exactly you would do it, I can't say. If you went the route I first considered — looping OUT to IN — you'd simply connect a cable and take SS input from its MIDI IN. For the approach you suggested, experimentation will have to suffice. You might call Dr. T's and ask them. I know it can be done one way or the other, because the KCS programmer specifically told me he had done it successfully. Try the horse's mouth, as it were.
