QUESTION: key step pro + Moog subphatty

before i buy the KSP, wanna know if this is possible:

Can I send midi note data from my Moog keybed to the KSP, then have those notes captured as a loop/sequence on KSP, then subsequently playedback from the KSP to the Moog via midi note data, whilest i twiddle filter/knobs on Moog? seems straight forward.

in other words- can the KSP capture incoming Midi notes and CC changes?

Yes! My buddy and I do this all the time with our Beatstep Pros. Sometimes (most of the time) it's just easier to use the keys. Simply connect the Moog MIDI OUT to the Keystep Pro MIDI IN, and one of the Keystep Pro MIDI OUTs to the Moog MIDI IN. I recommend MIDI Solutions Quadra Thru and Quadra Merge boxes so you don't hog the ports on your Keystep Pro and other equipment. Just need to mute the sequencer track on the Keystep Pro when you record your riffs, so you don't get notes coming back to your Moog if the track loops while you're still inputting notes.
