ayo! - BEZ
My setup musically is
a laptop w/ fl studio 10
tascam us 144 interface
akai s950
a **** lil 8 channel berringer mixer
and an mpd26
What i want is to use the s950 for drum programming for now, and sequence it in fl studio. I dont wnat to lose any of that sound the 950 throws on the samples when i sequence. I dont have the power cable for my mpd so i cant use midi out there to the s950 (until i get it anyway) so i have it hooke dup to the laptop via usb. My tascam is midi out to the s950 in, and the s950 is midi out to the tascam in because i figured my mpd coudl then trigger it even if its conencted by USB. Both the out to the tascam and the mix out to the s950 are to the mixer. the mixer then is out to my speakers.
I have no midi connectivity between the tascam and the akai, is my setup wrong having both plugs connected to both machines? I feel like my settings in fl are off too. im trying to trigger the midi out channel 1 to hit the s950 but im not even getting a midi signal moving from my tascam... feels like i gotta upgrade but i wanna try not to...
ive been searching for days on a proper setup that can easily achieve what i want (i know its possible).. can anyone help a newb to the hardware world out. ? id reaaaaaaly appreciate it
