Hi Folks,

New user here...Trying to use my Boss Dr 880 for midi bass and drum sounds and a Korg key board for keys (and other sounds).

The midi output select will only let me select one output at a time...is there a work around for this..

Thanks

I believe Biab allows a single midi device output at a time.

You *may* be able to use both in Realband? Not 100% sure though.

Someone will see this post and let us know.

First, welcome

Correct only one PORT at time but there is a workaround

see

http://bandinabox.wikia.com/wiki/VSTi_MidiRedirector_v_1.xx

and

http://bandinabox.wikia.com/wiki/Accessing_Multiple_Midi_Ports

This is also a great site for BIAB info

Good luck
Larry

EDIT - corrected "part" to PORT above (voice typing - arrrhhggg!)

Have you tried this; USB cable from computer to DR880 then connect a midi cable from the DR880 midi out to the Korg midi in? Or, Korg first then DR880?

Mark.... Welcome.

You can always export the BB tracks and midi to a DAW. Most DAW's let you assign midi channels to any device on the loop. There, you can make things as simple or as complicated as you wish.

I saw a lounge band using Cakewalk to sequence and control multiple synth modules in real time.


You can find my music at:

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

I, and probably others, use as single General Midi multi synth, like your Korg or soft synth like Coyote Forte for punching out the basic song format. Then I open the song in RealBand and change up the channels to other synths I prefer. RealBand was included with my purchase of BIAB and that's what I am used to as far as learning curve goes. The GM synth is a basic reference for starters, knowing all along I most likely won't use those sound in the end.

+1 for Tobias' route, mainly because so many other options come with the move ..

That said there were plenty of good reports from people using the solution in the wiki link above.
There are many multi-talented people here that give freely.

Makes it a really cool place.


I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
