![]() ![]() All except MIDI channel 13 are muted at the MIDI out port. Now, think back to my scenario, where my Yamaha Motif XF7 ROMpler keyboard which is assigned MIDI channel 13 from the MPC, (so that I can utilise the ROMpler preset drum kits), I have to ‘mute’ all the other MIDI channels of the MTP AV MIDI out port addressing the Motif, that are being used by the other sound modules. But to achieve the exclusive routing/distribution of each of the 16 MIDI channels to each module so I am not triggering multiple modules from the same MIDI channel, I have to ‘mute’ the remaining MIDI channels not being used by each MIDI sound module. My current understanding after reading the ‘Clockworks’ manual is to achieve this I route/cable in the ‘Clockworks’ software the MTP in port receiving the MPC out port A, to multiple MIDI out ports of the MTP AV. Eg: MPC MIDI out (port A) MIDI channels 1-8 going to my Akai Z8 sampler, MIDI channels 9-12 going to my Akai S950 sampler, MIDI channel 13 going to my Yamaha Motif XF7, MIDI channel 14 to a Roland Fantom XR, 15 to a Korg TR-Rack and 16 to a Korg Wavestation SR. I want one MIDI out port of the Akai MPC to share it’s 16 MIDI channels amongst multiple MIDI receiving modules. I have all my MIDI modules MIDI cabled to my (2) MOTU MTP AV MIDI interfaces. The synced Akai MPC5000 doing drum rhythms and either my Motif XF or Digital Performer doing the non drum MIDI parts.Ĭool idea eh! I can even switch the MPC patterns live against the completely independent linear MIDI instrument parts in DP. The MPC5000 being synced/slaved via MIDI beat clock to either DP or the Motif.Įssentially I am using two MIDI sequencers to trigger my MIDI sound sources via (2) MTP AV I/O. I want to program/sequence drums on my MPC and play/sequence all non drum chromatic MIDI instruments in a linear fashion in either Digital Performer or my Motif XF sequencer. This means I have to sacrifice MIDI receive channels of MIDI sound modules if I want to address multiple modules from one Akai MPC MIDI out port. Or possibly worded more simply and easier to understand: When I cable one MIDI input of the MTP AV (carrying the MPC MIDI out port A’s 16 MIDI channels) to multiple MIDI out ports (triggering multiple MIDI sound modules), (my current understanding is) I have to mute the MIDI channels of each MTP out port being used by the other modules, as a way of making each MIDI channel exclusive and not trigger multiple MIDI modules from the same MIDI channel, is this correct? If you have a ROM earlier than 2.01, please cotact MOTU technical support to request the latest ROM.Sharing 16 MIDI channels from one Akai MPC MIDI out port amongst multiple MIDI modules causes me to have to ‘mute’ the MIDI channels of each MIDI Timepiece AV MIDI out port that are being used by the other MIDI modules, reducing the number of MIDI channels each module can recieve, is this correct? You will see the ROM version displayed on the MTP/AV LCD when you first power the unit on. Please note that you need ROM 2.01 in your MTP/AV USB for networking. You will need to repeat the above procedure for networking the MTPs. If you experience any problems with FreeMIDI or Audio MIDI Setup recognizing the network, turn off all connected MIDI devices, and reset the MTPs by holding the Panic button in as you turn the power off, and then back on. Open Audio MIDI Setup and click "Rescan MIDI". ![]() Press the scan button for the port that the network is connected to. Open FreeMIDI and select Update Interfaces from the Configuration menu. Use the value knob to set this to BOX 9-16. Turn the cursor knob to the right until THIS BOX ID is blinking on the second MTP in the network.Make the same settings on the second MTP in the network.Turn the cursor knob to the right until NET PORT=MAC is blinking, and turn the valure knob to set this to NET PORT=MTP.On the MTP/AV USB, turn the Window knob until you see GLOBAL HARDWARE SETUP.Follow the instructions below to setup the MTP/AV USB for a network. If you are using Digital Performer, both MIDI Timpeieces will have MTS capabilities when the MTP/AV USB is connected via the USB connection. Any earlier model MIDI Timepiece can be networked with the MIDI Timepiece AV USB.
