We have a digital carillon that has both USB and MIDI connectors to the controller.
Using the MIDI hub in our DIY console (converted analog Rodgers console) created communication conflicts with Hauptwerk (MIDI cable connecting the hub to the carillon controller). The MIDI hub is connected to a USB2 in the Hauptwerk computer.
There are additional USB ports on the Hauptwerk computer. And USB output on the carillon controller.
Native Instruments, Kontakt, is installed and running orchestral sounds through the same USB connection to the console and is set up as virtual stops, where I've assigned MIDI virtual switches (touch screen) to specific sounds from the Kontakt library.
I've noted in configuring the audio interface on another organ, that there are multiple USB possibilities. That got me thinking whether or not USB could be used rather then the MIDI hub in the console.
Is this a possibility? I think that the comm path would be, one a virtual switch activates the carillon:
Note played => 1st USB to Hauptwerk => 2nd USB to carillon => carillon played => 2nd USB to Hauptwerk => 3rd USB to MOTU mixer.
Please advise.
