Title: MIDI connections
Post by lbfrench on Oct 1^st, 2022, 3:12am

Could I get some advice for MIDI connections on my rig?

Equipment
Korg X-50 (in, out)
Roland Fantom XR (in, out, bypass)
Roland GI-20 (in, out)
Miditech MIDIface 8x8 MIDI Interface (8 in, 8 out)

MIDI -ox
6 channel mixer board (Usb only)
Windows PC 10

I would like to be able to control and hear, my Fantom XR via my Korg-51, play the SI-20 through the XR. Be able to change a patch via the X50 and SI-20. I can do that but it doesn't run very smoothly, sometimes it works perfectly other times a few nagging twerks. I'm still learning the MIDI ins and outs, and there seems like there would be a better alternative then my configuration.

Also what is a good site for learning MIDI connections?

Thank you in advance.

Hi
Lets start with Midi information You can go to https://www.midi.org/ for everything Midi

A more concise site is http://www.somascape.org/midi/tech/spec.html

It sounds like you have it set up OK. (all cables go from OUT to IN and Midi Thru is an OUT).

I'm afraid you have to be very specific about your "nagging twerks" for me to help you.

Tell me the problems / symptoms of what you would like to fix.
Tell me in detail about how you have currently connected everything up etc.

Feel free to post again.

All the best
