Hi there.
I am a musician trying to get into MIDI, sequencing, techno-y stuff. I've played sax since I was 10 and the piano since I was 8. I own gear, the mac, software and a digital audio workstation but I can not seem to figure out how to incorporate it all together to make some music. I've read <b> Basic Midi </b> by Paul White. I have tried to read posts in MIDI forums. I just don't get it.  Please help. I can post what my gear is and perhaps someone can tell me how I can get it to all work together and then I won't feel so frustrated. |

Sorry for the slow reply.... I went of vacation without telling anyone!
 If the tascam audio ins are not 1/4' stereo inputs, then generally speaking you make a mono connection from the other devices going out of the left. Left is almost always default mono on any sound device (synths, effects, ect.) If the ins on the tascam are stereo, then yes a Y will do. I'm not so sure what you've done with your midi connections. Your diagram seems a bit confusing. USB Port 1 connected to Tascam Tascam midi port 1: Tascam midi out to roland midi in ------------- Tascam midi in to roland midi out USB Port 2 connected to Midiman Sport 2X2 Midiman port 1: Midiman out to Kawai midi in -------------Midiman in to Kawai midi out I think that's what you said, if so all is hooked up correctly. Both the tascam and the midiman should have 2 midi ports (2 ins, 2 outs) I'm not so sure where to hook up the Korg. I would suspect it would probably work best conected to the tascam midi in port 2.
