USB keyboard and synths in SFP

Keyboardplayer · Post by **Keyboardplayer** » Sun Aug 12, 2007 1:10 pm

Another stupid question: How can I use my cme midi keyboard (connected to usb) with the synths that are running on scope? Think I've tried all the possible connection without a solution.

Try MidiOX, it's a freeware you can download from the web.

Or you can route USB MIDI from your sequencer to SFP with the thru enabled.

There some thread on this forum abut this matter...have a look.

This program is not system invasive, U can load it only when U need it.

Keyboardplayer, in any case, Scope is not aware of any USB keyboard attached to your 'puter. You need to route the incoming USB MIDI to the DSP's, using some software.

If you have a sequencer, it's routing options should allow for that. For example in Cubase: create a MIDI track, assign the USB keyb to the track's input, and a Scope MIDI port (Scope MIDI Source in the Scope project) to the track's output. Enable monitoring on the track, and you can play. If you don't use a sequencer, a small MIDI utility like the ones above can do the forwarding for you.

Thanks, I believe that solved my problem about usb and midi (Can't really test it because my computer crashes when making new track to reaper :G). Anyway, is there any place I can order those adapters (or whatever they are) so that I can use the physical midiport of luna card? The normal midicable doesn't fit.

You should be able to connect the USB cable to a disabled or enabled USB port, then connect the MIDI out to MIDI in of the Luna card.

I have mine connected to a USB port that has been disabled so I can draw enough juice just to run the controller with. I use a hardware MIDI patchbay / filter as I am using multiple controllers, but the MIDI is better than using USB when running lots of synths at low latency.

Good Luck, Soon You Will Want A 15DSP Card, Trust Me.

the adaptor needed is an old AT to PS2 keyboard adaptor. you should have gotten 2 with the card. i have plenty if you need one, just pm me. you should be able to get one easily locally, though.
