MIDI Question - Looking to Add a Third Manual Keyboard
Posted: Thu Sep 20, 2018 8:28 am
Hi, my son is a Paramount 320 user and we have it set up for live performance with a Nord C2D and the Nord 27 pedal keys.
We have 5 pin midi cables coming from the Midi IN and Midi Out of the Nord C2D to an M-Audio 2x2M with the monitors coming out it's audio outputs. All is great as is .....
He wants to add a "small" 61 key controller as a third manual and I'm trying to confirm if it NEEDS both 5 pin midi in and outs? All the small 61 key midi controllers have one MIDI out 5 pin and a USB midi.
Can we just connect this second midi keyboard with one of the 5 pin midi cables on a Midisport UNO and the USB end right into the CPU ?
My son (12 years old but very into this stuff) is convinced we need the extra keyboard controller to have BOTH Midi in and out.......
Hopefully that makes sense ------ thanks for any thoughts
