So it is possible to have MIDI output A controlling the 1st 16 channels on the XV, and a thru coming off any other MIDI output routed to MIDI input 2 on the XV-5080, controlling it's other 16 channels?


No,... there can only be 16 channels per port .. its the limit of midi ... hence 4x midi outs 64 midi channels (4x16)

Are you sure, the XV-5080 has 4 midi ports, 2 being inputs (accepting 2 cables) it also has 32-part multi-timbral, 2wice what even the new Fantoms got. So are you certain I could not route a cable THRU one of the synths I only typically use 2 channels of, and run the other 14 channels to MIDI to MIDI-input2 of the XV-5080, allowing 30 channels into it at once?
Will the 4000 allow this config to be saved as default ?

On out C I got a Fast PC connected just for VSTi's
(Ivory, Elektrik Piano, Rob Papen Blue etc)

are you able to use more than one channel on a single VST? example: i have Mach5 and can only use one channel when midi-ed to the MPC. i don't think there is a global menu where i can switch modes (multi, omni, etc.)....

I use Vstack as host for VSTi's
I can use multiple channels per vst (for instance Hypersonic, I can use 16 midi channels on that one alone)
Or I can make a setup with Native Instruments Elektrik Piano on midi channel 1, Rob Papen Blue on Midi Channel 2, Ivory on midi Channel 3, and Korg Legacy Polysix on midi channel 4.
On Kontakt I can also use as many midi channels as I need

The Proteus 2000 by E-Mu also has 32 channels with 2 midi ins & outs. The Turbo racks by E-Mu share the same feature.

MY buddy keeps tellin me to put the Mo Phatt rom in the Proteus for that reason.????

I don't think he gets it.... heh heh

I do want to find some more roms for that tho. Anybody has any layin around give me a shout.

I've also got the Dance Extreme card in the ASR-X, I've used the livin crap out of it and am kind of tired of it.... maybe a trade of some sort is in order

I would buy extra roms. I've got the MP-7 Command Station with the Extreme Lead & Sounds of The ZR-76 rom installed. I've been wanting to put all the Roms in the Proteus 2000, too! I just like the controls on the Command Station.
