i have a midiman oxygen8, which acts as a midi interface (my only midi interface), and three external hardwares
a synth, a sampler, and a korg es-1 rhythm drum machine thing
so i can record midi information from the sampler and the synth easily enough, and hear it played back, but i can get none of the pattern information from the drum machine into cubase...
ive read stuff about slaves and masters and clocks and maps and its all blurred together in my head...
is my midi interface lacking somehow? is there something i need to do inside cubase?
can someone please walk me through the process of hooking it up and recording midi from it?
thanks

this first question must be truly retarded, because i cant find an answer anywhere-
is the disk drive in the a3000 just a regular floppy drive that takes 3 1/4" floppy disks?
if so, can i just put wav files on one, and put it in the sampler and upload them?
do i have to have an scsi interface for my ibook?

alright. i have an ibook g3 with cubase sx and a midi controller... i love using all the vsti's, but i wanted to explore the hardware side of things more, so i rounded up all my non-essential stuff, and managed to trade for a rackmount synth and a rackmount sampler. so... i dont even have any midi cords yet (buying some tomorrow) to hook up my controller so i can just see what the synth sounds like. i dont have a midi interface for the ibook, or an audio interface.

i was thinking of scrounging for a tascam us-224, because i 'think' that it is a mixer, a controller, an audio interface, and a midi interface all in one.
what i understand, is that i can plug the tascam into my usb, plug the synth into the tascam, plug the keyboard controller into the synth, send midi messages to cubase
then cubase sends the midi back to the synth as a 'ghost player' replicating my performance, so i run an audio line out of the back of the synth and return it to the audio interface in the tascam- and it can send midi out while allowing audio in to be recorded all at the same time?
did that make any sense?

will that eat up all the bandwidth of the usb connection? would it be better to buy a midi interface and an audio interface as two separate entities running on two seperate usb ports?

should i just buy an all-in-one usb midi/audio interface and a seperate mixer?

do i even need a mixer? can i use the cubase mixer just as well as a tangible mixer?

do hardware synths and samplers free up cpu power, so that my poor ibook isnt so taxed?

what is a daisy chain?

do i really need a second hard drive, if i wasnt using one for recording cubase before? does it slow things down to record to the ibooks hard drive? does the danger only apply to doing retakes, or does it still apply, even if you are recording only once and finally?

many, many thanks
