MIDI PUZZLE

[BALDO]

the idea of linking 2 keyboards - a controller ( KX88)  a synthesizer XP 80, a drum machine (Roland TD 12) and synth sounds from Logic Pro 8 on a Macbook pro to be used while recording in PC via Nuendo4 has been elusive..Is this route doable??? what are your thoughts??? i will be using an 4x4 Midisport to link it.. If this thing works i know it will be awesome..oh i forgot..plus Reason 4 too..and that will be REALLY REALLY AWESOME...

just to add, i am trying to go this path so that i can exploit the wonders of MIDI
1. i can correct timing problems on both keyboard and kick/toms
2. change keyboard sounds on both hardware and software synth sounds
3. print notes on keyboard performances.
4. save performances on MIDI for later use or to send via email.
Right now... i can use ALL keyboard sounds (hardware and software - Reason 4), drum sounds, record MIDI but not Logic 8
I can use Logic 8 synth sounds, use a separate a/d converter and record audio but no MIDI capabilities...
To integrate everything will be great but i am losing hope... the Midisport 4x4 has only 1 USB wire

pwedeng pwede yan sir,

1. timing problems? depende sa midisport primary interface mo. syempre out of the question naman ang Mac kasi nga MAC e! (yabang  ) 
2. pwede basta routing mo tama. esp MIDI ins.
3. nuendo merong print notes.
4. pwedeng pwede. . . reason? hmmm basta may rason. hehehe. pero seryoso, pwede kaya lang kung paiba iba ka ng platform di ko lam kung ang reason na ba ngayon pwede na siya kay nuendo at logic. naalala ko teaching ni sir kitC re OMI e di ko lam kung parallel pa din o applicable to dito. . . lam ko kasi reason 3 dati yan ang problema kapag paiba iba ng platform. nababaliwala to dati.

Bindoy hindi ko alam na me printing notes feature ang Nuendo 4 hehehe pero mas maganda yung sa Logic Pro sa tingin ko..napagsasabay ko na Reason 4 sa Nuendo 4 at ang masasabi ko lang eh ANG GALING!!!,
ang ganda ng orchestral sounds niya at mga drum sounds kapag techno..pero sa Logic pa din ako kapag piano sounds at strings.. Natri trigger ko na din yung Reason 4 drum sounds gamit yung Roland R8 kaya Techno Ready na yung set up PERO hindi gumagana yung Logic Pro  ... kaunti pang drawing at isip sa papel makukuha ko din ito..SANA hehehehe.. and i will post how i did it.. pakiramdam ko magagawa ito eh..
ME MIDI overflow kaya kapag sabay sabay yung keyboard controller MIDI data saka keyboard synth MIDI at drum machine MIDI data ? ganda nga sana pero kung mag e error bale wala din hehehehe

PUZZLE SOLVED...     this is how i did it:
the keyboards and drum machine was connected on Midisport ports 1 - 3 ..the fourth port was used for Logic sounds via MIDI cables coming from UNO.. now i can switch sounds from Reason 4, Logic 8 and hardware synthesizer..
