Hello all,
I recently left my church and since they needed a hardware synth more than
me I gave them my Roland XP-30. I needed a controller still so I picked up
an old Evolution MK-149 for crazy cheap. When I got it I plugged it into my
studio machine that has a M-Audio Delta1010lt and it worked flawlessly. So I
ordered a super cheap USB midi cable from Amazon to hook it up to my laptop.
I don't follow. Why don't you connect the MK-149 with a regular USB
cable (not a USB MIDI cable)? I've had an MK-149 for years and never
had any trouble with it.
The midi cable is plug and play and while I still had
the Roland XP-30 I
hooked it up and tested it and it worked without issue. However, when I try
to use it with the Evolution MK-149 I got strange unusable behavior. If
playing the same not it would play 50% of the not properly and not send a
midi off 10%. It would also play a wrong note 5% of the time and drop about
50% of the notes. I hooked it up to qmidiroute and confirmed that the midi
messages themselves are getting messed up. Does anyone have any advice for
tracking down what the issue is/how to correct it? It's strange that this
combination of hardware doesn't work. I may hook up my electronic drum kit
to test it further.
Thanks in advance,
Daniel Worth
