I’d like to get a couple midi companion synths (hopefully a Parva and ehx vocoder) for my trinity setup and want to set up the ideal midi routing. If you have any experience, success, or failure setting up something similar please let me know.
The main goal is to have the OT midi sequence the 2 external devices, passing on the note data it’s getting from an analog keys. This is peripheral to an existing trinity plus Slim Phatty setup. The SP is already sequenced via CV.
I’d like to sequence both the vocoder (has midi in only) and the Parva (has in and out/thru), using key presses on the AK and trig presses on the OT. Ideally I’d have the ability to toggle which of the two instruments receives live notes from the AK simply by selecting midi tracks on the OT.
here’s what I have in mind:
OT out to AR in (program change, transport, clock, midi sequences)
AR thru to AK in (program change, transport, clock)
AK out to Slim Phatty in (notes (for tuning only), program change, clock)
Slim Phatty thru to OT in (notes only)
*OT thru to Parva in (program change, clock, (AK’s) notes, OT’s midi sequence 1)
Parva thru to EHX Vocoder in (AK’s notes via channel 16, OT’s midi sequence 2)
I’ve never setup anything remotely this complicated in my life. Can it work?
