I'm using 2 audio interfaces & the Roland MV8800 (sounds & sequencer) with soft synths and an ext Keyboard a Fantom X7 for sounds & as a controller? I'm using the Motu 828mk2 (1 midi in/out) MV88 & FW-1884 (4 midi in/out) for the Fantom & all other ext sound modules. I use the MV88's sequencer and I need all the sounds to come into the MV88 but control them with the Fantom X7. I can get midi signal & sound when I select my keystation midi omni only. Nothing when i select a midi channel tho. I'm using Sonar X2 btw... Any suggestions? The objective is to sequence everything with the mv8800 using the Fantom as the controller.
 
All softsynth parameter selections are made with in the DAW (Sonar)
 
If you are using Windows you should try MIDI-OX and MIDI-Yoke.

Never heard of either so I did a bit of research but I've learned it doesn't seem to support 64 bit Win 8.
 
I would try it anyways. It is a great utility that allows you to patch between MIDI I/O. It will scan your system and allow you to see all available ports and patch between them. I use MIDI-OX to control a MIDIsport 8x8 and it works great.
 
You'll probably need to set the keystation to transmit on a certain channel.

I'm not certain that I'm right, but I wana make sure you saw this.
Midi channel numbers have to be altered on the transmitting and receiving devices.
If you don't set both, one of them will have to be on omni for it to work.
