![]() ![]() The patchbay will route/distribute the INs to designated OUTs, as programmed by yours trulyĬonnect your (MIDI INs) synths/drums to the patchbay OUTS and set their respective MIDI ch they (should) listen toĪwesome! I figured it’d be something like that! I intend to slave my S2400, JUNO-DS, and both the D4 and DM5 to my MPC Live… I also want to be able to have the option of slaving my JUNO-DS, and both the D4 and DM5 to my S2400 (when I’m not really using my MPC Live). depending on the polyphonic character of your receiving synths You can then send 16 MIDI ch to a single MIDI out port off the MPC, that's at least 16 tracks, which are polyphonic of course That way you can name your MIDI out port on the MPC as (e.g.) ROLAND (1) IN 1 or ROLAND (2) IN 1 or AKAI PB IN A Just connect 1 MIDI out from the MPC to 1 of the ins of the MIDI patchbay with a standard MIDI DIN 5 pin cable that is distributing 3 MIDI outs to 3x 8 OUT's. I use 2x Roland U880 & 1 AKAI MP30PII with an MPC X Doesn't work past Windows 2000/XP but its got drivers someone wrote included with every generic Linux flavor and works without any setup. Find an old Emagic AMT8 (the USB one, NOT the serial port one). You need a class compliant USB interface to use it with the MPC, if it needs drivers at all it won't work. Your MPC is going to live on a single MIDI port (or two if you hook both up) and you'll have to do all your routing inside the MX-8 itself. The old rack mount MX-8? That thing is ancient, USB wasn't even around when the MX-8 was made, it won't work directly with the MPC at all. Guess I’ll find out if nobody has the answer. ![]() Would I just be able to connect the MPC to the MIDI patchbay and select the patchbay from the input ports in the settings? Wondering how this MX-8 MIDI patchbay will work with the MPC’s multi-MIDI capabilities: Planning to connect all these devices via the MX-8 MIDI patchbay and have my MPC as the master. My MPC’s going to be the center of my studio. Currently on a TDY with the military, so I can’t wait to implement it into my little studio. In summary, my recommendation (and solution) is to get a multiple-input MIDI interface.Justineastwick wrote:Just picked up a MX-8 MIDI patchbay from Reverb a few months ago. It also tends to be fairly error-prone, as many USB-MIDI bridges aren't terribly reliable in light of the variable event timing that USB tends to introduce. The routing of MIDI input 2 includes the possibility not to forward the generated messages, since the connected keyboard can be used to control only its internal sounds, instead of. That is basically a special case of solution number 1. The MIDI input 1 can be sent to one of the MIDI outputs or to both of them, while the MIDI input 2 can be sent to one of the MIDI outputs or to none of them. Personally, I use the TAPco LINK.midi 4x4, but there are quite a few on the market at varying price points.Īlso, nowadays, many MIDI controllers also have a built in USB-MIDI bridge and can be connected directly to your computer by USB. ![]() You are probably better off getting a multi-input interface. I have never used a MIDI merger but I suspect that they are very timing-sensitive and unlikely to be particularly reliable.
