Hi Matt, I tried it out, there's no trick ;-)
the easiest way to check is:
After you have turned on the MTX9, press "PROGRAMM" twice. All bank
LEDs will light up. Now you are in Midi mode. The number displayed is
the receiving midi channel. Switch it to the desired midi channel or
change your signal source.
Press "PROGRAMM" again. The "MODE" LED will light up. The number
displayed is the midi mode. mode "8" is "note on" and likely the mode
you need. I connected my keyboard (in mode 8 sending on channel 1) to
the MTX9 and I could trigger its sounds without any problem. How to
assign a midi note to a sample is described on page 25 in the manual.
Bye
Wolfgang
