Sounds like the MIDI in and MIDI thru connectors may be reversed.

It is our pleasure to help our fellow musicians to conquer (or at least tame) this beast. That does not go without a small cost though! It is custom to repay with an audio clip resulting from the success. It doesn’t have to be a full Bach Fugue - a burst of sound is sufficient but the more the merrier!

Here it is. From a recorded MIDI on my pipe organ played with Cakewalk. The organist is Crista Miller, Organist at the co-Cathedral of Houston, during a concert at my house. Sorry for the registration, it’s not the original, just arbitrary Zynthian registration.
