Delta 66 with SBlive midi drives

[Bernard]

I just purchased a Delta 66 card using cakewalk home studio. I uninstalled SBlive before I installed my Delta 66 and then realized I did not have any type of midi interface. Should I reinstall SBlive and use the Live Drive for midi or should I purchase the 4x4 midi box from midiman?

Depends on your needs. If you just want a single in and out, the SB Live will suffice. But a 2X2 or 4X4 gives you more flexibility.

If you want to use the SB Live as a MIDI sound source too, then I would say put it back in.

My setup has an SB Live (my only MIDI instrument), a Delta 66 for audio, and the Midiman MIDISPORT 2X2 for my MIDI interface.

I'll probably need the flexibility that the Midisport 2x2 offers, so I think I'll purchase one.

Thanks ALChuck!!

The SB Live will also let you use soundfonts which can be pretty cool.

Oh yes indeed
