Hey, very good!: thanx for the nice info and quick tutorial.
I'm willing to increase my MV gigset with a 2nd MIDI controller to use the sampler.
I'm thinking 'bout the
korg padkontrol, or
mpd 24 from akai. Any suggestions? which one is better?
I also have a little doubt and I think your help might be really usefull for me;
My
U46-MKII has 6 outputs, I'm using 2 for monitor and 2 for master out. So Apparently I don't need another soundcard, Do I?
In case I do, that's when decisions come again, along with confusion- everyday stuff for actual DJ's Dealing with this market-.
So, here's the thing:
I have only 2 USB ports on my macbook, both of them are used; 1 by my soundcard, and one by my MIDI mixer
- BCD3000-.
Do I need a bigger USB soundcard? wich one would you recommend?
would a simple firewire soundcard rout my sampler out?
I was thinking bout something cheap like
FireWave from griffin, but I`m running XP so I don't know if MVpro7.21 would recognize it or even if my mac, under this OS would. do you? Any simple firewire card recommended?
I also look 4 the
inspire 1394, wich is much more complex than I need, but still is not
that expensive.
that's for the audio, now; MIDI signals.
As far as I understand, MIDI signal is "lighter" than Audio streams. So I'm considering the adition of a
hub on the USB port the MIDI mixer is connected to; what do you think? would it support the info flow from both controllers w/o crashing?
Anyone tried it?
Well, Now that you know my situation I have to ask: what would you do if you where in my shoes?
1-mpd 24 or padkontrol?
2-should I buy an extra small firewire soundcard or change to bigger firewire?
3-Are small USB souncards like UCA 202 still an option for me?
- got no free usb ports-
4- About the Hub for connecting the MIDI device+MIDI mixer.
good idea?
Thanx in advance!
