Hi,
I am new to this forum. I am also pretty much a newbie regarding Home Studio recording etc. so I decided to put my post in the Newbie section
I want to connect a DP to a computer via MIDI, use Pianoteq, and be able to hear sounds back in the DP. I also have an audio interface: Focusrite Saffire 24 that connects to a computer via FireWire.
I have realised that I need to connect DP directly to the computer via USB MIDI and set up Pianoteq; the audio interface has only old 5 PIN MIDI connectors. Pianoteq I think would not cause a problem. Although I have not downloaded it yet, I assume it would work. What I really struggle with is to understand how to connect everything back. The DP has an audio input for external audio devices such as iPad etc. I was hoping to use the audio interface for that and connect audio signal from Focusrite to the DP as it is quite high quality equipment. Also, DP comes with quite a good set of speakers.
I also have problem with I think it is called ground loop buzz when I connect both Focusrite via FireWire and DP via USB to the computer. Is it common problem and can I fix it?
I hope it is clear what I'd like to achieve and would be grateful for any comments and help.
Thanks
