I've been going in circles all day, have checked manual, searched the forums and been through the tutorials.
I'm trying to achieve what should be a very simple setup.
Midi Out A connected to OP-1, MPC Track 1 selected on Midi 1A - Pads successfully trigger OP-1.
Midi Out B connected to Microbrute, MPC Track 2 selected on Midi 1B - Pads successfully trigger Microbrute.
Perfect.
Now I want to add a Midi controller keyboard to Midi In 1, essentially replacing the job of the pads with some keys.
As I understand it, having Midi Thru set to "As Track" should route my keyboard to whatever Midi channel is selected on the active Track. So If I select Track 1, my keyboard should pass through the MPC to trigger the OP-1 on 1A, if I select Track 2 the keyboard should pass though to trigger the Microbrute on 1B.
I have tried this with 2 MIDI controller keyboards (Evolution MK-149, ESI Keycontrol 25) and neither work in the above manner. Whatever Track I select on the MPC, the Keyboard will only trigger the Midi channel selected on Track 1.
The only way to get it to work is to change the Channel on the Controller Keyboard itself to correspond with the Track selected on the MPC.
Example: Channel 1 on the keyboard will trigger the Midi Out selected on Track 1, if I change the keyboard channel to channel 2, it will now work in correspondence with the Midi Out selected on Track 2.
Fine, but I thought the "As Track" option was designed to accept on any channel and route through to the Midi out selected on the Track so you don't have to change it on the Keyboard controller?
Not a huge problem, just one of those niggles that has ended up consuming my entire day. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!
PS - Same results on both controller keyboards, cannot find Local modes as they are controllers only and do not produce sounds themselves.
