Re: Track Destination and MIDI on off. Controlling external gear.

2004-03-17 by frodo76at

Well, if it helps ... I'm confused now too :P
After reading this rechannelize thing I think it might be the clou 
to my MIDI IN to MIDI OUT problem.
I want to control external MIDI gear from my keyboard wich sends its 
data trough the XL-7, because I want to record/play the XL-7 with it 
AND have to use it for the other gear as well.
So it goes like this:
Keyboard -> (MIDI In set to B) XL-7 (MIDI OUT B) -> external 
sequencers (synced to the XL-7)
The keyboard plays the XL-7 and (should play) the external 
sequencers.
The problem is that if I set the MIDI IN to B, I cannot route 
incoming MIDI data to any of the MIDI Outs.
I could solve the problem when selecting MIDI IN A, but then I not 
only play the external, but also the internal XL-7 sounds when using 
the factory patterns (because they are all on MIDI A).
When I turn off the MIDI A channels I cannot play back the patterns, 
so I would have to rearrange all factory presets to be played via 
MIDI B :/

So, is there an elegant way of solving this problem ?

Any help is appreciated !
