Hi-
I am fairly new to more complex midi setups, so it's quite possible I am doing something wrong here.
Setup is:
Assumptions and observations:
If I plug the Summit directly into one of the other devices, the MIDI data gets through fine and notes are played with the Summit acting as a MIDI controller (have not tried with the Korg yet, but the others work)
So I am wondering if there is some key piece of knowledge I'm lacking, or my routing is incorrect, or if there is an issue with my 880. I just bought it brand new, FWIW.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
I am fairly new to more complex midi setups, so it's quite possible I am doing something wrong here.
Setup is:
- Novation Summit (local off and transmitting on CH 1) MIDI OUT -> 880 1 IN
- Polyend Tracker MIDI OUT -> 880 2 IN
- 880 1 OUT -> Summit MIDI IN (receive on CH 1)
- 880 2 OUT -> Hydrasynth Explorer MIDI IN (local off, receive on CH 2)
- 880 3 OUT -> Korg Poly 800 MIDI IN (receive on CH 3) *I am not sure how well this old synth will work with my desired setup
- 880 4 OUT -> Polyend Tracker +
Assumptions and observations:
- The Summit will be used as a MIDI controller to play notes on any of the above output devices
- The Tracker will sequence the synths connected to the 880 Outputs
- I have SUMMIT IN 1 and 2 linked to all four outputs
- It works with only the Summit (local is off, so it has to be getting the MIDI notes from the 880)
- None of the other devices seem to receive the MIDI data
- I have tried it with and without Chan Split
- I have tried changing the output devices receive channels to ALL/OMNI and specific channels
