Hey group, I ask a question on another posting and was told I might look at a midi solutions product (midi merger). The only thing is midi is not even in my vocabulary "I have a feeling that is about to change" Maybe I can describe what I am trying to do and you can tell me if possible where in my chain the midi merger should be placed.
I have a Marshall JVM midi controlled amp
Fractal axe Ultra
I have a fcb1010 with uno chip midi controller footswitch
I also have a Edirol Fa-101 audio interface that I run by firewire to my computer, this device also has midi, I guess I should tap into it because this device is the only one of my devices that will communicate with my computer and the fractal and fcb1010 both have software to access settings.
My plan is to use the fcb1010 midi controller to controll the fractal axe and switch channels on the Marshall JVM
I use the Edirol Fa-101 to take the sound from my amp and fractal and send it to my computer using S/pdif from fractal to edirol hopefully.
I guess I don't understand where to put the midi solutions product, or even what its role is? Will all my midi devices use a different midi channel?
This is alot of information, I know nothing about midi and am totally lost. The last time I tried just messing around just trying to connect just the fcb to the fa-101, I wasn't even able to get the fcb1010 to communicate with my computer. Which happens to be a laptop.
Anyway thanks alot for your time, hopefully someone will be able to fill in a few wholes.
