Connecting rackmount synths - problem with playback
Hi. My set up is Windows 8.1, using Roland FA07 as master connected by usb midi to PC. Now connecting up with a Roland Fantom XR.
I have tried with usb midi and with standard midi cables and both together for luck! I can transmit fine to the XR but it does not respond when I play back my tracks. I was hoping that with both midi in/out connected to the XR from the FA07 that this would work but it doesn't. I cant find a usb driver for the XR which is probably part of the problem BUT shouldn't it work with 2 midi cables? I should add that the FA07 doesn't have a midi thru which could have been good.
Really enjoying using Reaper - so much better than the onboard sequencer on the FA07. However the FA7 sequencer works fine with the Fantom XR connected by midi cable or USB midi.
So any help connecting hardware synths would be appreciated. Maybe a sipario midi router would help?
Thanks
