Slaving DKC850 and "Old controller" and outward midi connection

2013-05-20 by tintinlad320

Hello!
Im going to try kassey22000 suggestion with my mpx1: to use both controller the "old" one as master and the dkc850 as slave both connected through midi cables.

Since Im using quite much the midi connection with my Imac (dkc850 midi out->midi interface->usb Imac) I find that with this new way to connect both units Im loosing the possibility to connect them with my Imac through midi.

Is there a work around ? I thought about the "TO HOST" port on the old unit but it seems that to work it needs to be switched on "midi" or on "mac' so selecting "mac" would cancel the midi connections with the dkc850.

I also thought about a midi merger : Imac midi out + dkc850 midi out-> old unit midi in AND reverse  old unit midi out-> Imac midi in + dkc850 midi in... But having not such merger I wonder if this would work...

Any other ways I could try  to achieve midi connection  fro/to Imac to the combined set up dxc850-Old control unit ?
