Hi All,

I have a MODX8+, M-Audio Keystation88 mk3, and use Studio One for my DAW. Can someone tell me how I could (or if) play one of the performances/sounds of the MODX on the Keystation while playing a different sound/performance on the MODX?  

For example I could have one track in S1 using the Mk3 and the modx as the instrument but how do I them also use the modx as its instrument on a different performance?  is it a midi channel thing or something?  thanks in advance!

Turn keyboard control off for the Part(s) you want controlled by the keystation and keyboard control on for the Part(s) you want to control with MODX+'s keybed.  MIDI channels come into play when you need the keystation to target the right Part(s) on MODX+.

 

That's not an all inclusive guide.

Add your MODX8+ as a new MIDI device if you haven't already. Make sure to select the correct MIDI input and output ports.

hmmm..Thanks for the responses. they are thought provoking. Let's see If I've got the general idea:

1) in the DAW I have the MODX as a keyboard and an instrument. This allows me to go to that track and pick a sound from the Modx performances to play.  

2) I can also play that same performance from the MK3 using the MODX "Instrument"

3) How do I play a different performance on the MK3 using the MODX instrument/engine- e.g. and organ - while simultaneously being able to play a different performance - e.g. Classical piano - on the modx? I;m not sure I get how to play one track without Local control and one with local control at the same time?

thanks
