MnM A4 AR Keyboard midi set up

Hi

Im wondering how to connect things.

I want to be able to control both my monomachine and analog four with my external midi keyboard (microkontrol).

when linking the mnm an a4 i can control them seperate when i change the global on my keyboard, so thats all fine.
The problem is that i end up using both midi ins of each machine, so i dont know how to add the AR for instance and make them all run in sync, somehow i always miss some entrance.

Basically i want everything to run in sync, and i want to send keynoard info to both the a4 and mnm.

I just always miss an extra midi in port.

Can someone give advice?
Honestly i have this problem for so long already :slight_smile:

If you want a fairly fixed setup, the simplest method would be to use a MIDI Merge box to merge the Thru and Out signals of the instrument that is generating the MIDI clock signal in your setup.

For example:
Microkontrol out to MM in
MM thru to merge in 1
MM out to merge in 2
merge out to AF in
AF thru to AR in

If you wanted a more flexible setup, you could get a larger MIDI patchbay so that everything could be connected to anything else by changing preset configurations of the MIDI patchbay.
