Re: [korgpolyex] Mk1: no MIDI in/receive?

2015-04-27 by <backshall1@...>

What about sending from the EP-II to the Poly-800? Does that work? Just set everything to channel 1 for testing.

Hello all, 




My Mk1 works great for the most part, but I can't seem to convince it to receive midi.

I'm connecting to my Mac through an Echo Audiofire 12, and I can use it as a controller, i.e. it will send midi, but it won't respond to midi coming from the computer.




I have successfully hooked up another keyboard (a roland ep-II) and been able to send and receive midi, so I'm pretty sure the problem is in the Poly.




I've got the manual and tried playing with the midi receive channel parameters, but to no avail.




Any ideas?  Guess I should open it up and check for loose connections.




I'm ready to dive in and order the Hawk-800, but wanted to get this sorted first.




Thanks!
