Subject:Outboard Synth "Monitoring"? Posted by: merlyn60 Date:8/21/2002 1:04:31 PM I have the input and output midi routing down with the outboard synths that I'm using, but I have a "monitoring" question. I have an outboard midi keyboard/module and a stand alone synth module. In the midi section of the preference page, I have my keyboard synth available on midi input 1 on the midi input port column and also available on the midi output 1 on the midi track playback column. I have my other synth module available on midi output 2 on the midi track playback column with its midi thru set from midi input 1 so I can trigger it from my keyboard. I have no problem recording midi notes into a midi track and have no problem getting either synth to playback using the device selection button on the midi track. However, when it comes to "monitoring", is the only way to audition a synth in record mode (where you can pick what synth to route the midi input to)? There is no way (that I can find) to seperate which module gets the midi input signal in normal playback mode unless I'm recording or I physically de-select one in the midi section of the preference page. As the configuration is set now, both synths play. Any help anyone? Merlyn
