You are correct in assuming that your MIDI connections are wrong.

The MIDI out from the RS5 is fine for controlling the K2500 but it
will not pass on data from the interface. For data to travel from the
interface to the RS5 and then onto the Kurz you need to connect like
this:-

Interface MIDI out -> RS5 MIDI in

RS5 MIDI THRU -> Kurzweil MIDI in

However this means that you will no longer be able to control the Kurz
from the Roland because the Kurz needs the RS5's MIDI out signal.

The way to solve this is to use a MIDI Merge box and combine the MIDI
out from the interface with the MIDI out from the Roland and connect
the merged signal into the Kurz.

Hope this helps.

Cheers, Andy
