Can't use multiple MIDI inputs in standalone?
« on: February 14, 2009, 11:16:46 pm »
Here's the problem:

In standalone mode, multiple "active midi inputs" can be selected under the preferences, but only one at a time can actually control the software. And when I have the Analog Factory Experience keyboard connected, no other midi devices will control the software simultaneously. Is this intentional? Why would you be able to select multiple midi inputs if you can't actually use them? It would be nice to be able to use a larger keyboard but still have the functionality of the knobs and buttons on the Experience keyboard!!

Guy, daisy chain your Midi devices through your Arturia controller. You can control AFE with several cLogic,hannels- through a DAW such as Ableton,GB,Acid. Even if you use a firewire to USB.  Now in stand alone, there are not multiple Midi inputs usable, just detected. The little blue check boxes allow only one detected device used. You do have a DAW or digital recording interface right? If not, just set up through a freeware program like VST host,SaviHost,etc. The knobs are great, and if you really want to get down on twisting and fading knobs without huge investment, just score the Korg Nano-Kontrol. It works in conjunction with everything, has 4 random assignable scenes of 8 faders with knobs, 16 button switches for like 50 bucks US. Stand alone is fun, yet not practical, and actually abuses CPU, limits possibilities,etc. Hope this helped
