Midi keyboard and the MB64

[Guest nomadicWhale]

Hi,

I have a very simple midi keyboard with Midi in/out sockets. Can someone please explain why when I connect keyboard-->midibox-->pc I can't use snap/relative/parallax mode.

I'm not sure I understand this.

If this is true, and if I don't have midi thru socket on my midi keyboard than I will not be able to use them both in the same time?

Thanks.

Hi,

yes, thats correct. Only solution is a MIDI merger:

I was afride of the answer.

And what about this configuration (since I don't have midi thru on my midi keyboard):

keyboard out -> midibox in

midibox out -> pc in

does this make sense? if yes, will it work with snap/relative/parallax mode?

Thanks

If your keyboard has no Thru port, it possibly also provides an integrated merger - this would be perfect!

Which keyboard do you own exactly?

I wish. Currently, my midi keyboard is something I got from my nefue. It is not even remotly a professional keyboard. And BTW, it has only MIDI OUT, not MIDI in/out as I mistakably said in the intial postings. This keyboard only outputs.

I will upgrade soon, but now I'm investing all my "hobby" budget on the midibox64.

So I guess no chance here Aha? Is there any solution to this problem?  ???

Thanks.
