Original Message 1/13 19-Feb-99 @ 05:47 PM - Cubase>Supernova>sampler setup.
I`m trying to use it with my PC(cubase),
and my Emu ESI4000 sampler. I`ve hooked it up like this: my keyboard is hooked to the midi in on my soundcard , my `nova is hooked to the midi out. My sampler is hooked to the supernova`s Midi OUT.
Ì`m trying to get the Supernova to "ignore" some channels and send them through to to the ESI instead. How can I do this? As it is now , the only way I can get any midi input on the ESI is to hook it to the MIDI THRU on the supernova.But the THRU send EVERYTHING to the ESI and I only want it to get midi on the channels NOT used by the supernova. I`ve read the manual but I can`t find anything spesificially about this.
Hope you guys can help , thanks.
Yours , Thomas

1st synth, huh? Smart choice. You weren't lured into the belief that old synths are better. Believe me, they're not!
I agree that the MIDI box
will save you a lot of head-
aches. For example, how are
you going to backup your SN
programs without rewiring?
Many people, myself included, back up every time
they write something they don't want to lose (one crash with data loss will convert you).
Also, with larger setups, MIDI timing latency becomes a problem when devices are
daily-chained.
However, even without the MIDI box, your setup should
work fine. Just choose which channels you want the
SN to use (1-8 for
example) and which you want
the ESI to use (9-16). Make sure that no sounds on the SN are mapped to 9-16 (check GLOBAL channel also) and no
ESI channels are mapped to
1-8 (check GLOBAL channel).
That should do it. BTW, each device *will* receive
all channels, but will ignore those that are not
mapped to play.

The previous replies have probably left you baffled.
If you want to use the Supernova on, say, channels 1 to 8, you have to stop the ESI responding on those channels. Either :
1) Select the Supernova patches manually and don't send any program changes from your sequencer on channels 1 to 8.
or, better :
2) Set ESI Rcv Prog Change to off (MIDI Globals (9/2)), set ESI channels 1 to 8 to unassigned and manually select programmes on ESI channels 9 to 16.
2 is better because you can set the Supernova global channel to e.g. 9 to avoid program changes loading a different performance.
A merge box would help with backups, but it only saves you plugging a diferent MIDI cable into your soundcard. Not the best way to spend sixty quid.
All the best, Chris

Instead of connecting the SN midi-out to sampler midi-in, connect SN midi-thru to sampler midi-in.
So it goes...
sequencer-out to SN-in, SN-thru to sampler-in,
controller-out to sequencer-in.
That's a basic setup, though you won't be able to record nob movements on the SN. That's when you might need the thru box to combine the outs from the SN and controller, so they can go to the single IN of the sequencer.

The easiest and for sure cheapest way of expanding your midi-capacity is to install more soundcards.
Ex.
3 soundcards give you a total of 48 midi-channels with 3 midi-ins and 3 midi-outs. This gives you a separate interface for each instrument you have.
Hope I made life easier for you!

For exampel your modem, printer, com-port (if you don't use it to midi).
When you start your computer it wants to know wich hardwareprofile that is going to be used, make the "stripped" choice and then everything proceeds as normal, except for that you can't use what's turned off.
The IRQ:s that are set free is now available for other gear.
This is may not be so easy, but it works fine for me.
