I want to be able to control my Yamaha MODX which is a multi part synth (each part having its own midi channel) from the Genos. To use the Genos as a master keyboard, I want to be able to transmit the keyboard on ALL midi channels 1-16 so to play all of the parts of the MODX performance/voice. I can't seem to be able to do this, the best I've managed so far is to layer voices R1/R2/R3 and have those transmitting on midi channels 1-3.
Assuming it's not possible, does anyone know of a small box I can buy that would do this? i.e. be able to convert a midi input on a single channel to output on several or all midi channels?
Many thanks
Simon
It can’t be done...
As on the Genos you can only assign a single midi channel to a single Genos part..
And the modx can only accomodate a single midi input channel for each of their channels..
So using Genos as the master you could never play more then 3 sounds on the modx as once..
There is an easy way around this.. if you have an ipad..
There are quite a few apps that allow you to route midi..
I could advise apematrix, audiobus, and espepescially keystage to do just this..
There isprobably also some free apps that can dojust this..
Personally i have chose the other way around...
I am using the modx as the masterkey.. this offers much more options..
If i need to controll styles from the modx, i use channel 15.. have set up the genos to listen for chords on channel 15... i do use the Genos as midi clock master...
Another tip.. i connected the genos audio out to the Modx audio in..
This allows you to use the beat of genos as the source for the envelope follower..
This way you can for example keep arps in beat with an mp3 song..
Or just use it for EDM purposes..
