USB Midi capabilities

um, you mean use the usb port without a computer? I dont think so- but yeah multiple in can be recieved to the synth.

Well I'll be your huckleberry....

You need a MIDI merge box to receive multiple ins, right?

no, you dont need a merge box. You would only use something like that If you wanted to play each channel out with a different keyboard or piece of hardware. If thats what you are trying to do, then yes you would need some kind of midi interface with multiple ins, if you just want to sequence different channels, all you need is your computer and a usb cord, or a hardware sequencer and two midi cords (in/out). hope that helps.

What I want to do is this: Have my V-Synth receive clock information via MIDI from my drummer's click (generated by a drum KAT), AND be able to control bass patches from the V-synth with another keyboard. I have the V-synth receiving notes from my MicroKorg on channel 2, for instance so I can still play channel 1 sounds on the V-Synth itself.

The way I understand it, I would need a merge box for this, true?

Thanks!

yeah, get a midi interface that has multiple ins such as m-audio midisport 4x4... you would assign all the ins to one channel going out of the interface and finally through to the v-synth, where you would assign all your patches to recieve midi data from the cordinating channels that you want- set the v-synth's midi clock to external let the drummer roll while you play keys.

Ok! That's what I thought. I have ordered a new Midi Merge box so we will see in a couple days!

Thanks!
