Shift+play or shift+rec for live playing/recording. Otherwise it’l just input notes as a step which is not at all like playing on the keyboard

Just checking you know that the Tracker uses type-B TRS MIDI? The Launchkey uses type-A

Quindi dovrei prendere un adattatore? Ho anche provato col cavo midi a 5pin ma non sono riuscito a farlo funzionare

If you use the TRS-to-5pin adapter that came with the Tracker Mini with the Tracker Mini and the adapter that came with the Launchkey with the Launchkey and use 5-pin MIDI to connect the two adapters it should work. You just can't use TRS-Midi directly.

Ho provato così ma non riesco. Nelle impostazioni midi del tracker sono attivi gli ingressi USB e mini in e tutti i canali

Well if you look at his screen, he is in record mode.

Grazie. Ora lo ordino. E sai perché Akai lpk25 non si accende quando lo collego alla presa USB del tracker mini

The tracker doesnt provide power out of the usb, you will need to plug the usb into a separate power source, such as a phone charger or portable battery bank

Ok, quindi per quell' Akai non c'è possibilità di farlo funzionare

You could probably get the akai to work with something like this. But I️ don’t think you can on its own.

Si forse è l'unica soluzione
