Can someone tell me how to hook up an M-AUDIO 49es USB MIDI controller to an M_AUDIO M_TRACK? There is a place to plug in a guitar but I don't see a way to hook up the midi controller. No USB inputs. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Phestus

The M-Audio MTrack is an 'audio only' sound interface. It has no midi interface built in thus you would need a separate USB/midi interface to plug your midi keyboard/controller into.

You would need something like the Roland UM-ONE Mk-II or similar.

If that's your interface, there's MIDI in it.

However, that keyboard is designed to be connected to an USB port to work, so you'll actually need two USB ports to work with both items at the same time.

That one has midi. This is the M-Track II.

The M-Track you pictured is an exact clone of the Alesis iO2 Express which I also have. Wonder where M-Audio sourced this?

As Pepe says though you can connect the 49es USB MIDI controller via USB.

You would not hook the 49 to the interface. It would connect "in addition to" the M-Audio interface. You would need to plug it in to a different USB port. Hopefully, the computer has a few spare USB ports on it that are not being used. I don't think USB hubs are advised though.

Once connected, it should show up as an input option for MIDI in the MIDI drop downs. You can select the midi device in the track inspector and route it to your synth. The M-Audio will provide the audio output without any problems. I'm thinking in terms of a DAW.... I never use MIDI and synths in BB or RB. But it should work the same exact way with BB/RB if you elect to use MIDI in either.
