I´m sorry if this is still a bit unspecific, but it´s hard to give more concrete advice here.
Once you are comfortable with that setup and wish to do more or different things you can change it around again etc. This simple setup would get you going controlling all your synths and being able to adress all of them through the Zaquencers. Make sure that the Global settings for Midi Out/AB and Midi Channel of the tracks you want to use match the physical output and the Synths settings.įor a general getting started with the Zaquencer (hooking up, setting it up for notes/drums), please see here: Zaquencer 2: recieves Master clock on IN (Global Clock Int/Ext setting on ext), Midi Out A/B are connected to the other synths (TB-3 and system 1) Midi Output B is connected to one synth (for example TR-8) Zaquencer 1: creates Master clock, sends it on Midi Output A to Zaquencer 2. The appeal for using a patchbay is to have an all-in-one merger/router/filter/distributor for a rather large system that’s being shared with someone, to make it easy to toggle between presets that handle everything other than the ERM’s internal channel presets (unless that’s addressable too). Set all your devices to receive clock and not send it (some you have to manually change in order to do this, others just receive by default), and thats basically it.
Having said all that, I recommend a very simple setup to start out with: Then take a separate 5 pin midi lead for each synth and connect from the midi OUT on the thru box to the Midi IN on each synth. Then you can either check if your synths have a Midi Through functionality, or you could get a little box like the Kenton Midi Through to distribute your Midi data:Īre you planning on integrating a PC/Mac as well? Or what is the MidiSport for? If you want to hook up all your synths to the Zaquencers, at some point you might run out of physical Midi outputs on the Zaquencers. Obviously you are well prepared here with the 2 Zaquencers, but you could also decide to use the built in sequencers on your Rolands, and only have them to be synchronized with the other devices. So from that device you need a Midi connection to every other, to distribute the clock signal.Īnother big decision is, where do you want your sequences to come from? It’s understandable: many of us now don’t use mixing desks, we use.

With so much of what we do today carried out ‘in the box’, the humble patchbay is growing rarer outside of professional studios. Ultimately I don´t think there is a right or wrong way in your case and you can find out what setup works best for you through trying out different stuff.Ī big decision is, what device do you want to have as a master clock. Even in today’s computerbased studios, a patchbay can change your life. First of all, congrats on the nice setup!Ī big Midi setup with lots of devices is always a challenge and also lots of personal preference.
