Hi,
I'm pretty much useless when it comes to understanding midi, and I need to learn fast because I'm playing synths in a band now! What I want to do is set it up so that my microkorg and Roland Rs-5 are synched to reason. I also have an oxygen 8 controller, can that be used as an interface? Otherwise I'll have to buy a little interface. I'm sure this isn't that tough but I'm new at this so any help would be appreciated. Thanks much!
 
oxy8

your oxy8 is the interface...if its usb that is all you need.....just plug it in your pc usb port and thats it!! cool huh?

It's not that tough at all. Here are links to two good articles on midi basics - part one and part two. They may be a little too basic for you, but we can all use a refresher course now and then...

You say 'synced to Reason' when what you probably mean is able to play the Reason sounds from those two keyboards. Reason will sync to an external midi clock, but I don't think either of the 'boards you have transmits one...

And good ol' jINXBEAT answered your question about the Oxygen 8, right?
 
hey scientist...see i learn from the best..just got my midi controller yesterday and think im a pro huh??? naw just passing down the knowledge right???
