I´m sorry if this is still a bit unspecific, but it´s hard to give more concrete advice here. Once you are comfortable with that setup and wish to do more or different things you can change it around again etc. This simple setup would get you going controlling all your synths and being able to adress all of them through the Zaquencers. Make sure that the Global settings for Midi Out/AB and Midi Channel of the tracks you want to use match the physical output and the Synths settings.įor a general getting started with the Zaquencer (hooking up, setting it up for notes/drums), please see here: Zaquencer 2: recieves Master clock on IN (Global Clock Int/Ext setting on ext), Midi Out A/B are connected to the other synths (TB-3 and system 1) Kenton MIDI Merge Active Midi Merger 90 4 x MIDI Inputs, 2 x MIDI Outputs, Power supply (included), Robust aluminum housing See Details ESI M8U eX USB 3.0 MIDI Interface 6 16 MIDI ports, Each port can be used as input or output, Automatic input and output detection, Multicoloured LEDs for status display, Additional. Midi Output B is connected to one synth (for example TR-8) Zaquencer 1: creates Master clock, sends it on Midi Output A to Zaquencer 2.

Having said all that, I recommend a very simple setup to start out with:
#KENTON MIDI PATCHBAY PATCH#
Then you can either check if your synths have a Midi Through functionality, or you could get a little box like the Kenton Midi Through to distribute your Midi data:Īre you planning on integrating a PC/Mac as well? Or what is the MidiSport for? The Interchanger is a very flexible, programmable MIDI patch bay something many of our users have been asking us to make for a long time Its feature set. If you want to hook up all your synths to the Zaquencers, at some point you might run out of physical Midi outputs on the Zaquencers. The MRCC has tons of MIDI connections, ranging from traditional 5-pin DIN connectors to USB interfaces and USB host ports and even the 3.5mm MIDI A/B connectors that are popular on compact devices.
#KENTON MIDI PATCHBAY PRO#
Obviously you are well prepared here with the 2 Zaquencers, but you could also decide to use the built in sequencers on your Rolands, and only have them to be synchronized with the other devices. The Kenton Pro Solo Mk3 MIDI to CV Converter features a number of improvements over its predecessor including 3 continuously variable auxiliary outputs. The MRCC has been designed to make it easy to build flexible and powerful MIDI setups, combing controllers, instruments, your computer and more. So from that device you need a Midi connection to every other, to distribute the clock signal.Īnother big decision is, where do you want your sequences to come from? Ultimately I don´t think there is a right or wrong way in your case and you can find out what setup works best for you through trying out different stuff.Ī big decision is, what device do you want to have as a master clock. First of all, congrats on the nice setup!Ī big Midi setup with lots of devices is always a challenge and also lots of personal preference.
