Re: [Doepfer_a100] Connection advice

2013-12-28 by Nicholas Keller

Sounds like you need the Korg to split into zones, so one zone would transpose the DT and one would play the pad/lead.  You would then need a splitter AND a merge, split the Korg out to DT in and merge In 1, DT out to merge in 2, merge out to blofeld in.   USB will not help in this as that is for connecting to a DAW, not from machine to machine (as far as I know).  You should be able to sync, transpose and receive with a DAW and DT.
