Sandy Lane

-------------------------------------------

You will need to Merge the SD-1's MIDI OUT and MIDI Thru together. I 
do this with mine, also.

I use a midisolutions.com MIDI Merger (I think that's the name).

The MIDI input data does appear at the MIDI Thru, but not at the MIDI 
Out. The internal sequencer data does appear at the MIDI Out but not 
at the Thru. When you merge them together, everything is present on 
the MIDI output of the MIDI Merger.

You're welcome. They don't need external power, either.
Let me know how it works out.

I'm not sure if this question is on topic but I have my SD-1 midi out
connected to my sampler
on my laptop.  I also have a need to connect my SD-1 midi out to my DX7II.
I don't know much
about midi but I tried to connect the DX7II to the midi thru of my SD-1 and
that doesn't work
(probably for an obvious reason).  Can anyone tell me how I can connect my
laptop and my DX7II
to recieve commands from my SD-1?  Thanks in advance and my apologies if
this is off topic.

Michael

3 options:

1) sd1 (midi out) -> (midi in) DX7II (midi through) -> (midi in) laptop

2) sd1 (midi out) -> (midi in ) laptop (midi out) -> DX7II

check if your sampler SW can be configured to put midi signals THROUGH

3) sd1 (midi out) -> (midi in) splitter (midi out1) -> DX7II

; ; ;(midi out2) -> laptop

as TIm mentioned

I think you're looking at the wrong part of the VFXsd manual.  
You're trying to control a sequence in your SD-1 from your VFXsd.  
How do you want to control it, though?  Do you want the tempo 
synched so that it'll play along with a sequence from your VFXsd?  
If that's the case, you just need to look for something that talks 
about "external clock" synchronization for the SD-1.  It should be 
somewhere in the sequencer or system section of the OS, I think.  
Midi out on the VFXsd to Midi in on the SD-1, of course.  After this 
is set, you should be able to just press play on the VFXsd and the 
SD-1's sequencer should start right up.

If I've misunderstood your question, I apologize.  Good luck and I 
hope that I've been helpful!  ; )

God Bless,

Ben
