The MIDI cables are connected properly.
I've been using MIDI for years while I was using my T-1 Korg and 8 MIDI tracks. Everything seemed so easy then. It was all done for you on board. As I decided to upgrade my sounds, I thought by buying separate sound modules, a dedicated (non-PC sequencer, Yamaha QY-100), a Rolland XV series module, a dedicated MIDI keyboard controller (M-Audio KeyStation Pro 88) and the Tascam 2488 that my MIDI troubles would be for the most part, over.
Though I like the sounds of the Yamaha QY-100, and it is easier to use the voices because of the 16 tracks, I really got the Roland for the sounds and the QY for the sequencer. I can sequence the roland drums, use the QY edits and quantize with only one track however. I cannot sequence the Bass on track two of the QY. I'm not getting "past" track one's drums.
The T-1 allowed me to sequence up to 8 tracks with different voices on each track.
My question; How does one go about enabling/uploading multiple voices to be sequenced by the QY-100, and would I need another external device such as the Tascam US-122 or M-Audio's equivilent or some other kind of 16 MIDI channel exchanging device? As I'm sure you know by now, I'm not using my PC for any music related apps. (not that I wouldn't if I knew what I was doing) I just don't know.
Sincere thanks for any uncomplicated resolutions anyone might have.
