In answer to your first two questions, yes. I can run midi on cubase with
my an1x, and also on an1x edit with my synth. so nothings wrong with my
soundcard.

i have everything setup like in Gary Gregson's article without xg edit and
replacing "sw1000 #1 synth" with "awe64 midi out" for the hubi output.. i'm
not sure how sw1000 #1 synth or sw1000 #2 synth translate to my
soundblaster. here's what happens:

-if i have cubase running and then open hubi midi loopback and try to select
awe64 midi out as the output, i get "MMSYSTEM004 specified device already in
use..."

-if i have hubis midi loopback on with midi out selected for output already,
and then open up cubase, i can NOT get any sound when midi is transmitted
from cubase nor from my keyboard through cubase (even thought midi in and
out on cubase flashes on), but CAN get sound when keys are pressed in
an1xedit which goes through hubi to midi out.

does this make any sense? i think i need a multi-client driver for my
soundcard, i think the problem is that my awe64 midi out can only take input
from one program at a time. perhaps someone who owns a soundblaster might
shed light on this?
