Title: 2 USB MIDI DEVICES HOOKUP
Post by flstudio2496 on Jan 29^th, 2005, 4:17pm

Hello im Kinda new to this I was just wondering if somone could explain to me how I can hook up my usb midi keystation 88 and an usb midi akai mpd16 controller/s to midi ox or yoke I do not know which one... So I can use both midi controllers simultaneously in FLSTUDIO... I have those two controllers and EMU 1820m card with emu midi if you need to know that

You don't need to do any mapping.

In fact, you shouldn't need to use MIDI OX or Yoke.

In FLS, just open both MIDI In devices.

Ah, I see - so you can only have a single MIDI Input? That's terrible! My main reaction is to get a more MIDI-capable host...

But, to address your problem: YES! OX and Yoke can fix it...

If you've not noticed by now, MIDI Yoke is a set of virtual MIDI Out and In ports cabled together (from Out to In) and MIDI OX is a program that reads and writes MIDI messages (and mangles them too if you like).

You need to use MIDI OX to open the MIDI Ins from your Keystation and MPD and open one MIDI Out to MIDI Yoke. Then in FL, you can open the single MIDI In from MIDI Yoke.
