Thanks, that explains much :wink: So a MIDI keyboard will affect Neutron but the MIDI stops there? Neutron is great if you like analogue synthesizer noise, & hooked to Mixcraft you can do anything with it, shape it, double-track it, endless possibilities. Have given up trying to document which setti...

Many thanks

Well you got it working, but it's estrange that the MIDI data doesn't go from the keyboard to the PC via the Neutron USB port. :?: :?: :?: :) You're right, it definitely doesn't. The usb connection allows Mixcraft to identify Neutron as an external MIDI device but it won't accept the Neutron as a s...

Thanks. Am pretty newb to MIDI, not an old sweat by any means. Both Neutron and Q25 MIDI keyboard are connected to the laptop by usb, that way Mixcraft can identify them. Had to get a usb hub in the end. Neutron has a line-out to my M-Audio interface (also connected to the lap by usb), so I can hear...

Not sure what you are doing but I would add a midi track and select the Q25 as the input when you arm it and then when you select the instrument for the midi track select external midi device and then select the Neutron. This should send the midi that you are playing from the keyboard to the midi t...

Thanks, will update.

I better find a MIDI tutorial for Mixcraft on the Tube before I go any further.

Also found that playing back the MIDI tones affected the drone effect coming out of Neutron

Here's the Q25 affecting Neutron but the only recording mode for this is 'audio track' not MIDI; yet the MIDI set-up is having an affect on the audio: weird

Q25 has MIDI-out to Neutron's MIDI-in, both are usb-plugged to laptop.

This is the Q25 alone with a VST, as you can see it is recording and playing fine - I have sound from the monitors & no latency delay, everything working great

Yet I cannot hook the Q25 to the Neutron, why please - there must be a reason?

Thanks.

Preferences are WaveRT M-Track ~ in & output ~ because ASIO will not configure to the M-Track interface.

This is the Neutron with straight MIDI keyboard [Q25]. Am trying to get the Q25 to use the Neutron as its synthesizer - there is no MIDI interplay between either, whatever I do, either in Mixcraft or attaching a MIDI-out cable from the keyboard to the Neutron. When I attach the Q25 to the laptop on ...

Missing cable turned up. usb-plugged the Reface keyboard to the laptop, plugged a MIDI-out to the Neutron; usb-plugged the Neutron to the laptop. MC7 recognised both keyboard and Neutron. But I just got the default Reface tone - which recorded as MIDI this time. So I hooked up the Reface analogue-ou...

Will update.

Just discovered my Yamaha Reface has MIDI out, so have ordered its cable.

You may already know this, but we're having a fantastic upgrade sale for Mixcraft 8 Pro Studio right now - only $29: Mixcraft Upgrade Check.

Thanks, have MC8 but use 7 for experimenting

Thanks. No, as the synthesizer was processing analogue sound I presumed it would also be generating midi data. MC7 is set to WAV not ASIO, there were issues with the latter. Gosh, this means finding another usb socket in the laptop to plug a midi keyboard into, that could be a problem. Another reaso...
