PEOPLE OF MIDI
my world is an analog world and i really, really REALLY need help with your technology. here's my setup. i have cakewalk 8.0 with a gina box. i've been recording analog to my computer. i've been recording analog to my tascam deck. i bought a motu pocket express to handle my smpte midi conversion. i also have a studio logic sl-161 and a roland jv-1080. by hooking my keyboard up to the sound module and using my analog outs from the module i can hear my roland. fine. but i can't get the midi hookup right. i want to record virtual tracks from my roland onto cakewalk. given the following diagram can anyone tell me what i need to do.
Keyboard - MIDI OUT ONLY
Roland jv1080 - MIDI IN
MIDI OUT
THRU
MOTU EXPRESS CHANNEL A
MIDI OUT
MIDI OUT
MIDI IN
CHANNEL B
MIDI OUT
MIDI OUT
MIDI IN
when i hook up my sound module from midi out to in on the motu, i'm not getting a midi message light. thus i have no signal going to cakewalk. and with all of this talk of "downloading sounds" do i even need a sound module? do i need sound definitions for my module? is my sound module actually passing any sound information to my pc? or should i just get back on my ship and head home to Analog?
kind regards,
