I'm sorry if I'm posting this on the wrong board, but as it's midi-related I thought it might be best.
I've been making music for years with basic audio software.
Now I want to get into midi but I really have no clue about it.
My biggest problem at the moment is how to set it up.
I have a Boss Dr. 202 that I've been using for ages simpy by playing the patterns live through the aux and pressing record on the computer.
Now I'd like to be able to edit it all in the computer, but I have no idea how to do that.
I have a Creative Live Drive Platinum and although I usually use Magix Audio 7, but I haven't really gotten to grips with its midi prog, so I thought maybe Cubase VST might be better. (It came with my Live drive)
At the moment, the two midi cables are going out from the 202 into the creative sound card, and VST is all loaded up.
When I play the 202 I hear nothing from the computer. (you're probably saying, "well, of course, duh!")
So, what do I do? Do I need to configure VST? Do I need to buy something to go in between the 202 and the computer? What?
I'd appreciate any help and I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm VERY new to midi.
Thanks.
