Newbie needs MIDI Controller advice

Grunbay · Post by **Grunbay** » Sun Feb 27, 2005 8:24 pm

I have a PC DAW, Scope professional running Cubase SX 3.0, A16 Ultra and a Mackie Control Universal. I also have an Evolution MK-461C MIDI controller. Is it possible to interface this through the USB connection? If I must use a MIDI cable, how do I wire that in, considering that my Mackie Control is using up the Scope MIDI in and out. Can I wire it in series somehow?

a midi merger box may help? that's if you wanna hook both mackie and evo into the single CW midi?

The Mackie uses both in and out of your card midi, right? If so then you need a midi merger or if the Evolution controller is an USB one you can use it along with the Scope midi ports. To get it working with Scope software the controller should be wired via Cubase. This is how it works - in Cubase you enable a track to be recorded from the Evo USB midi and the output of the track should be set to Scope. Or there is windows utility that merges midi signals inside the system (I'm on a Mac so can't help you with it).
