    hello ,
    how to set up rack synth with bedroom inteface and oxy88..?
    can i use usb to midi cable e.g. Roland-UM-ONE-MK2-USB-MIDI-
    and plug it from oxygen keyboard into rack synth midi thru and midi in/out from interface to synth ??

  3. Ummm, a very interestingly worded question. Do you have an M-Audio Oxy-88 keyboard controller?

    The Oxy-88 is plugged into your computer via usb cable, the rack synth is connected to the Oxy-88 with a regular midi cable. The audio outputs of the rack synth are connected to your interface via 1/4 cables (or just one cable if is a mono synth, one cannot assume, can one). Now you can use your controller to use with any soft synth installed and seen in your DAW or standalone version as well as triggering sounds via midi from the rack synth. Other more elaborate uses such as program changes etcetera can be dealt with later. This should get you going. Make sure that your DAW recognises your Oxy and you are now good to go, as well as routing the sound coming out of the rack synth to their own channels. Bingo.

    That was obvious to me.

    In detail this depends on the Synth's output and the sensitivity of the interface's inputs. In general, as long as it doesn't distort or the interface shows clipping, it's ok.

    What for? It has no sound, so that's not necessary.

    ahh...something i did know...whhooohhooo...thx mate:cheers:
     
  19. Your ok to play with the things I mentioned in my post. Now that I know it is a Bass Station we know that it is just a mono out for audio signal. You probably won't need anything connected to the CV input for now.

    Have fun.

    got another one:

    have longer midi cables more latency than short ones ?? edit or do they have near sero latency in common ??

    and...
    another option i could do , isnt to play the racksynth directly....i could use midi in out on interface to racksynth to send it programmed midinotes from DAW and to rec fader motion into DAW...
    am i wrong?:woot:
