828MK3 HYBRID AND MIDI EXPRESS XT
Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2023 3:49 pm
Hello friends.
As stated, I have an 828mk3 along with a MIDI express xt (the newer one).
One issue is that I can't get Clockworks to see the device,or open Clockworks. I know from past experience that I need a USB 2.0 powered hub to get it to work properly. I've misplaced the hub but a new one will be arriving today (1/20/23). So we'll see.
My other issue is this:
The 828 has a MIDI in/out.
Does the 828 need to be connected to the MIDI express as another MIDI device? With both units being fed into the computer it would seem to me there would be some sort of conflict.
With Clockworks automatically being connected to the computer with no routing needed in Clockworks, where does the 828 fit in?
If the 828 IS connected to the MIDI express, how is it routed on the Clockworks screen? It just seems to me that it would cause all sorts of issues. MIDI data needs to be sent from the MIDI express to the 828 so it can then go to the computer, but isn't MIDI data already being sent from the MIDI express to the computer thru its own usb?
If you only own an 828 then MIDI data goes from the controller to the 828.. to the computer.
But when you introduce the MIDI express into the chain...SEE? I don't know.
Surely someone here uses both these devices.
Someone please reach out and help me.
I'd really appreciate some input concerning my debacle.
Thanks
Joni
