The only compromise/workaround I can think of is to accept that any shared MIDI channels from one MTP input have to be muted at the MTP output and I can reduce the MIDI module receive channel carnage by using another MIDI out port of my Akai MPC5000 and ‘mute’ some of the MIDI channels of this MPC MIDI out port at the MTP input and only use the remaining MIDI channels as a MIDI receive channel sacrifice across all the sharing MIDI modules:īecause I want to mainly produce drum parts on my MPC5000 using drum kits on my Akai Z8 I could route the MPC5000 MIDI out port A to MIDI channels 1-12 of the Akai Z8 sampler and MIDI channels 13-16 to the Akai S950 sampler. So when I want to play pianos, basses and string sounds over my MPC drum production I can’t access the Motif because the MIDI channels are all muted at the MTP output except channel 13 being used by the MPC for preset drum kits in the Motif.ĭo I understand the routing possibilities of the MTP AV correctly? Do I have to sacrifice shared MIDI channels from one MTP input as the only way of routing one MTP inputs 16 MIDI channels exclusively to multiple modules? All except MIDI channel 13 are muted at the MIDI out port. Now, think back to my scenario, where my Yamaha Motif XF7 ROMpler keyboard which is assigned MIDI channel 13 from the MPC, (so that I can utilise the ROMpler preset drum kits), I have to ‘mute’ all the other MIDI channels of the MTP AV MIDI out port addressing the Motif, that are being used by the other sound modules. 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? 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?
