I’m trying to make a little corner where I connect only my Digitone and Summit. Sequencer and synth.
It’s been just a never-ending string of headaches…
Right now I have a functional but insane setup with my Midihub where I need to:
Merge Midi Out and Midi Thru, because Digitone otherwise won’t pass through the original midi and cc tweaks (So I can just play the Summit on its keys).
Transform the midi channel of the Summit to the Autochannel on the input, because Digitone otherwise will play two notes for every one key I press
Do this twice, because somehow the previous step means it once again won’t pass through cc’s, PB, AT etc…
And filter out the relevant messages per copy of this setup.
I’m using three inputs and two outputs on the Midihub to do this, which seems insane for possible the most simple and obvious setup ever.
Anyone else here who’s actually made a setup like this and has insights into what ways could be better?
Ideally I’d like to be able to do this without the convoluted bird’s nest of midi cables and using up my Midihub.
edit: I’m anticipating a lot of responses that I’ll have to reply to with ‘no, have you tried that? Because it doesn’t work’. Please try to only respond if you’ve tried this yourself, because a lot of things that seem like ‘this should just work’… don’t.
