MIDI INS AND OUTS

I have an 1k triton le fantom x6 planett phatt module and the vs 2480 and my prob is that i dont have enough midi conections to run all at once but i'm not sure what the thru on the triton or fantom is for any input on what the thru is for or device i can buy to have more midi out say like 4 as the mpc 3000 and 4000 has would be helpful

no man thru is to daisy chain your synths together, research it. it's just what your looking for. but not to many or thing's will get sloshy and messed up.

BUT THE 1K ONLY HAS A & B CONNECTS SO WHEN SEQUENCING HOW WOULD I MAKE IT WORK FOR THE THIRD DEVICE?

say you had 3 bits of external gear; you'd connect midi out A to the first bit of kit's midi in. Then you connect the midi thru from that bit of kit to the midi in of piece of kit two. Then you'd connect the midi thru on that piece of kit into the midi in of piece of kit. The only thing stopping this is if you came across a bit of kit with no midi thru (eg: old boss drum machine or something)

Then you would have to set up the midi channels on your other kit to 1, 2, 3 (for example) and then set up 3 tracks on your mpc to midi A1, midi A2, Midi A3, etc.

In theory you could have 32 different bits of kit (or 32 different voices, eg: 4 banks on one keyboard, 8 on another, and so on) - but as mentioned above, it would be impractical. I use my 1k with a nord modular that has 4 different voices, so I use Midi 1, 2, 3 & 4 for those. I also use Midi B1 to send program changes to an effects unit.

You can get bits of kit that split/route midi signals for you if you don't think the 1k has enough.

OK I ALMOST UNDERSTAND BUT HERE'S WHAT I DONT UNDERSTAND I USE MY TRITON A MY A DEVICE & MY FANTOM AS MY B DEVICE I WANT TO CONTROL MY PLANETT PHATT WITH ONE OF THE KEY BOARDS BUT I NEED ALL TO BE HOOKED AND RUNNING AT THE SAME TIME HOW DO I ACCOMPLISH THIS WITH THE MIDI CAPABILITIES OF THE MPC 1K

who gives a flowers...

give a flowers about what? his question or having caps lock on. i tell you, i give a flowers flowers about caps lock - it DOES MY HEAD IN.

See, there's a valid use for all caps - I am intending to be read as shouting there, in a very stressed tone. if you use it all the time that's how you come across.

anyway - agreed that this is all very newbie and should be posted in the newbie forum really....

or go to your local library and get a funkin midi book.
