Play DS arpeggio from external MIDI keyboard? in Juno-DS / XPS-30 · 28 Jan 2023

I bought an Alesis Vortex Wireless 2 with the expectation that I could play Juno DS arpeggios from its keys. This does not seem to be the case! Am I right that the DS arpeggiator is local only, or is there a setting I'm...

True, Vespina, but the system receives it, right?

Re: Alesis Vortex 2 wireless MIDI and iPad USB in? in Juno-DS / XPS-30 · 31 Jan 2022

Anotherscott, is there a way that the Juno's "Soft Through" setting can allow me to use both the USB port and the MIDI out simultaneously? Macbook is connected to Juno via USB hub, and Juno's MIDI Out goes to iPad via iR...

Re: Alesis Vortex 2 wireless MIDI and iPad USB in? in Juno-DS / XPS-30 · 30 Jan 2022

Yes, my hub's powered but apparently not enough. And I'm planning on just 1/8'' out from iPad, either to mixer, or into Juno as external sound source. What I couldn't figure out is how to trigger iPad's Synth One app via...

Hmm, not exactly what I'm going for. I was hoping to connect the Vortex's MIDI USB A wireless receiver to the MIDI Host box and then MIDI out from box to Juno in, and the Vortex plays Juno sounds wirelessly.

Thanks for replying, Vespina. I suspected as much. Looks like this is the least expensive option: https://www.ebay.com/itm/203066888152?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28

Alesis Vortex 2 wireless MIDI and iPad USB in? in Juno-DS / XPS-30 · 25 Jan 2022

I'd like to control the Juno from an iPad (ForScore app to trigger performance changes etc.) and a Vortex Wireless 2 keytar. Is it possible to connect them both (iPad from the camera connector adapter [lightning->USB B]...
