Live! games (yellow) port. All I want to do is play the DTXpress
through the soundcard/speakers. My MIDI volume is not mute. I have
used the dtxpressions guide and have successfully transmitted patch
data from the dtxpress using SysEx which implies that things are
properly connected. I am managing to play midi files using quartz
audiomaster freeware but I am using a speaker-out to DTX line-in
method which I hoped I could bypass using the midi cable.
Rich,
Gordon hit the nail on the head. A MIDI connection from the DTXpress
to your sound card will not make any noise through your computer
speakers. If you were sending out MIDI commands to access the GM
sounds on your sound card or to lay down MIDI tracks in a sequencer,
however, that would be the right connection. All you need to do to
hear the DTXPress is to take the audio (not MIDI) feed from the back
of the DTXpress and run it to the audio (not MIDI) input on your
sound card. You may need a 1/4" to 1/8" adaptor at the computer end
for your interconnect, whether you use a stereo splitter or simply go
mono. Be forewarned that you will not hear the DTXpress at anything
like its best. It needs a lot more power, frequency response, and
dynamic range than computer speakers and amplification can generate.
