I would like to do computerless true hardware setup. Ñomputer is used only for stereo recording. I dont want to do midi routing in software.
And yes Virus have midi thru.
As I understand you, I can connect novation via virus midi thru to mp7, But emu have only one midi in and i want record virus into mp7 too. that is my problem.
and for kp3, i only need send to it midi clock, i dont need use midi out from it.
