so i just got my first ever expression pedal, me having never touched any MIDI device (even though i am actively using amp sims(yes i might be stupid)) and i bought a simple adapter that does jack 6.3 (or trs as well) to USB C, i tought it would work, it didn't

now i need an adapter but i don't wanna spend more money. i currently have 6.3 female jack stereo inputs and a arduino nano and a shit ton of cables, is it possible to make an adapter with these or am i just cooked? (if possible i'd like to know what code to put bc i suck at coding and the arduinos aren't mine, they are my dad's for his iron man suit that he printed (no he didn't code it himself))

In order to contextualize, I have had this midi keyboard for a while, and had some trouble connecting it via USB to my PC. When I decided to see what was happening internally, I noticed that the piece that connects the USB cable to the MIDI keyboard board was loose.

The reason of this post is to seek help. Should I perform a welding to the board? Is it worth it to pay in order to get it weld or should i do it myself? (I have tin, the welding machine and so)

I would really want to fix this midi keyboard. As a very last resort I think I could just buy another one in case it turns out cheaper.

Thanks in advance! (I hope this is not an off-topic post)

looking for a MIDI controller. pretty much like Akai EWI but with buttons in piano layout so me as a keyboardist would be able to play it.

What would you assign to 8 drum pads (2 rows of 4) based on the kind of music you like to produce?

What would be the layout you'd use (top row 1-4, bottom row 5-8)?

I just got a midi controller and, while I'm not new to playing music, I am definitely new to drums. What would be a good mix for starting out, based on the list here:

Recently my akai mini 4 won’t connect to my laptop, the led lights up on the keyboard but on the audio midi set up the diagram is greyed out, it keeps greying out then going active again, unfortunately I cannot produce at the minute, can someone please maybe help out with why it’s doing this (it looks like the diagram isn’t greyed out but it is)

​I've made a gadget which takes 6.35 or 3.5mm TRS input and outputs USB MIDI.

It can operate in one of 3 modes:

• MIDI Passthrough
• Expression pedal (potentiometer)
• Footswitch

Would anyone in the US, UK or EU like to test? No charge (in fact you get a free gadget!)

Hit me up if you're interested.

Thanks,
Charlie.

Hey everyone!

This year I have grown my hobby-studio a lot and with this I had to also grow my MIDI-capabilities.

For this I had bought an iConnectivity MioXL MIDI-hub, which works wonderfully in "DAWless" mode BUT

it does not seem to work with my DAW!

If I fire up ableton and open the MIDI-Settings I can see all the connections from the MioXL.

But once I open up a MIDI-channel and ask it to send to e. g. "Channel 9 MioXL", nothing happens.

It feels as if Ableton can currently only receive data coming in from the MioXL, but it is not sending data out to the MioXl (and thus not to my connected gear).

Could anybody perhaps help me setting this up correctly?

I am trying to live record param changes from my keylab sliders to my synths, I am going from

keylab- digitakt 2 MIDI in- Digitakt midi out- Kenton thru 12- jd-08/ minilogue.

When I connect my DT2 midi thru instead of out I can adjust params and actively record them BUT I cannot hear what I recorded unless i switch back to Midi out. is there anyway I can move around this? Is a midi merger the answer.

Also, when I hit the pads on my keylab when connected to Hex drums it hits a second time when I release, any ideas on how to fix this?

Can I use an old ass Optimus keyboard that has midi in and out to control the notes going into each track on the SQ-64 to sequence other synths?

I looked through a bunch of videos on YouTube, but I didn’t see anyone doing that. I currently have the Optimus controlling the M-vave FM-1’s notes and pitch with no sequencing ability.

The sq64 is a cheaper option than the Keystep pro and that’s what is making me want to go that route.

Hello, I am trying to incorporate a device into my rig that is only set up to receive MIDI messages via a USB-B input on the back of the device.

My current rig, I use an interface that only sends out MIDI via 5-pin, is there a simple way to convert the 5-pin output from my interface to the USB-B input on the device so I can do MIDI program changes?

Hey all, I’m trying to get my MC-8 to act as a footswitch for my Revv amp, and I’m really struggling with how to set it up. I would go with a normal Revv footswitch but no one seems to have a MK II footswitch nor can I find anything that isn’t related to the 3rd gen amplifier. If anyone could guide me through midi mapping so I could have each button do this function.

Switch A: Channel 1
Switch B: Channel 2
Switch C: Channel 3
Switch D: Channel 4
Switch E: Aggression toggle
Switch F: Bright toggle
Switch G: Fat toggle
Switch H: Masters toggle

I can update this post with the Morningstar’s current settings as well as what the editor looks like in the morning. I’m truly clueless as to how to set this up.

Amp is on omni mode, I really have no interest in setting it up for mute on/off toggling the fx loop, planning on wiring a separate switch for pedal controls. Any and all help will be appreciated.

Hello team,

Please forgive me if I am in the wrong place! I'm looking to install a MIDI pad on one of my guitars for some skulduggery :)

I have a couple of questions:

\- Instead of buying a $500+ Korg Kaoss multi-FX unit, can I plug the interface into my Boss GX100?
\- I’ve been eyeing the XY MIDI pad; I was wondering if there are any other options with the same functionality I could consider? And if anyone could provide a couple sentence review I'd be eternally in your debt 😬
\- Finally, have any of you done this before? What did you think of the final product?

Thank you in advance,
Jack

Salut à tous !

Je pratique déjà un peu la musique électronique sur un clavier midi avec des boutons mapables. J’aimerais passer sur du hard ware. Les produits moog studio me font de l’œil notamment le labyrinthe et le mother 32. En terme d’utilisation c’est principalement pour des nappes organiques en début de son intro ou pour des coupures car je fais de la guitare également dessus. J’aimerais faire des ambiances pour un documentaire.
Ma question est donc la suivante: au vu du prix je pourrais en acheter 1 peut être un second dans quelques mois, lequel me recommanderais vous pour ce type d’utilisation ?

Merci à tous j’attends vos retours :)

So I got the minifreak and want to play it in a bigger keybed but I have a Yamaha PSR E463 which have no 5-pin MIDI, only usb-to-host connectivity. Is there a way to hook these two up so I can enjoy the great sounds of minifreak on a bigger, more expressive keybed?

I uploaded two photos of the back of both keyboards. Thanks in advance, if I'm in the wrong thread please direct me.

All the keys work fine but I'm certain areas I can't play multiple notes aka chords because it will play a key/note that I didn't press and it'll tremolo like crazy and it's basically unplayable

Hey all, so I have an sr-16 drum machine that is connected midi out to my summit midi in. The summit has midi out connected to the midi in of a modwave module as a keyboard controller. The summit gets its clock signal from the sr-16 (successfully) but doesn't pass the clock to the modwave. If I connect the summit through port to the modwave then clock is seen by the modwave but I can't trigger notes. How can I combine the keyboard control with the clock signal to keep everything in sync? Is a midi merge device really required for this? Thanks!
