![]() But to achieve the exclusive routing/distribution of each of the 16 MIDI channels to each module so I am not triggering multiple modules from the same MIDI channel, I have to ‘mute’ the remaining MIDI channels not being used by each MIDI sound module. My current understanding after reading the ‘Clockworks’ manual is to achieve this I route/cable in the ‘Clockworks’ software the MTP in port receiving the MPC out port A, to multiple MIDI out ports of the MTP AV. Eg: MPC MIDI out (port A) MIDI channels 1-8 going to my Akai Z8 sampler, MIDI channels 9-12 going to my Akai S950 sampler, MIDI channel 13 going to my Yamaha Motif XF7, MIDI channel 14 to a Roland Fantom XR, 15 to a Korg TR-Rack and 16 to a Korg Wavestation SR. I want one MIDI out port of the Akai MPC to share it’s 16 MIDI channels amongst multiple MIDI receiving modules. ![]() I have all my MIDI modules MIDI cabled to my (2) MOTU MTP AV MIDI interfaces. ![]() The synced Akai MPC5000 doing drum rhythms and either my Motif XF or Digital Performer doing the non drum MIDI parts.Ĭool idea eh! I can even switch the MPC patterns live against the completely independent linear MIDI instrument parts in DP. The MPC5000 being synced/slaved via MIDI beat clock to either DP or the Motif.Įssentially I am using two MIDI sequencers to trigger my MIDI sound sources via (2) MTP AV I/O. I want to program/sequence drums on my MPC and play/sequence all non drum chromatic MIDI instruments in a linear fashion in either Digital Performer or my Motif XF sequencer. This means I have to sacrifice MIDI receive channels of MIDI sound modules if I want to address multiple modules from one Akai MPC MIDI out port. Or possibly worded more simply and easier to understand: When I cable one MIDI input of the MTP AV (carrying the MPC MIDI out port A’s 16 MIDI channels) to multiple MIDI out ports (triggering multiple MIDI sound modules), (my current understanding is) I have to mute the MIDI channels of each MTP out port being used by the other modules, as a way of making each MIDI channel exclusive and not trigger multiple MIDI modules from the same MIDI channel, is this correct? This limitation is not present within Windows XP.Sharing 16 MIDI channels from one Akai MPC MIDI out port amongst multiple MIDI modules causes me to have to ‘mute’ the MIDI channels of each MIDI Timepiece AV MIDI out port that are being used by the other MIDI modules, reducing the number of MIDI channels each module can recieve, is this correct? For example, if you have 2 Express XT's connected to your Windows 2000 computer, only 10 out of the 16 ports will publish within the operating system and your MIDI software. Windows 2000 imposes a 10 port limitation with MIDI. The LPT refresh utility allows you to scan your MOTU parallel interface, verifying communication between the computer and the interface. It is also recommended installing the LPT refresh utility from the MOTU MIDI driver setup for testing and confirming communication of Windows and your interface. ![]() These BIOS options are usually found under a section labeled "Intergraded Peripherals". We recommend choosing either Standard mode (sometimes labeled as SPP), Normal, or Bi-directional mode. Finally, you will need to check the parallel port mode in your BIOS. Also, make sure that the "Legacy" option is turned off and that LPT1 is selected. Now click on the Port Settings tab and make sure that the option "Use any interrupt assigned to the port" is selected. First, go to the properties section for the Printer Port, which is found in the Ports (COM&LPT) directory of the Windows Device Manager. The LPT settings are located within the Device manager. If you are unfamiliar with the BIOS of your copmputer, you should contact the manufacturer of your motherboard or consult the user manual for your motherboard. Before Installing the drivers for your MOTU MIDI interface, you will need to make a few changes to the LPT port and BIOS settings of your computer. MOTU parallel MIDI drivers have been developed and tested for full compatibility within Windows 2000 and Windows XP. This document refers to the PC Flyer, Pocket Express, parallel Micro Express, parallel Express XT, and parallel MIDI Timepiece AV.
