Updated schematic and notes

Ardour set up on Mac 4

(Flashing single amber on Midi interface seems to mean it’s not going to work)

Core audio set up should show core midi

Blue means active – here USB port 1 is taking an input

This is critical to send midi out to the interface – it is accessed by clicking on the synth name in the mixer and selecting outputs – nothing else is selected on any other tab

Input is more straight forward but I don’t understand the flash at the bottom – just select the input port

These two screens are confusing – beware creating a mess by not reading the tabs properly

Turn on

  • Midi KB
  • Phat
  • MAudio
  • TC Helicon
  • MU10
  • On PC start XG Edit or nothing will work correctly including mid routing perhaps because port 1 is routed to both Port 1 and Port 3

In Ardour – setting up midi tracks

  • Add Midi track – set instrument to none
  • In Midi Connections (or at mixer)
    • Sources/Hardware Midi Port 1 -> Destinations/Hardware Midi Port 1 – this will send to TC Helicon
    • Sources/Hardware Midi Port 1 -> Destinations/Hardware Midi Port 13– this will send to MAudio
    • Sources/Ardour Tracks Midi Port 1 and Port 3 -> Destinations/Hardware Midi Port 1 – this will send to TC Helicon and MAudio
    • In editor create midi region
    • Expand keyboard range
    • Create notes etc on track – this will be designated somehow as channel or part 1
  • create duplicate track or new track – this will be designated somehow as channel or part 2
    • to play back in seprerate channels set – adjust channel selector
