SD 50 and A -300 Pro Are communicating but, What is the best configuration ?
Currently I am powering my A-300 via USB, and connected to the SD 50 via midi. (SD 50 is not connected to the computer with USB because this seems simplest) #1 Should I be using USB for the SD 50 too ? #2 What do I do to use the A 300 as a controller for the SD 50 without opening Sonar ?. I have to open Sonar and select a midi track. I can't use the A 300 and SD 50 freely unplugged from the computer. #3 I have midi in and out going to the SD 50 from A 300 with only a USB from the A 300 to the computer. I cannot seem to assign the A1 - A8 pads as drums, only when all the keys are set to midi Channel 10 or a SD 50 drum set. #4 I also have an octa capture with midi ports not in use. Should I be routing the SD 50, A 300 through the Octa capture ? If so what does my midi device dialog box look like. ? I hope to get this off the ground quick but I don't know the answers to these problems. I feel like I might be barking up the wrong tree here. Remember I have Octacapture, SD 50 and A 300. What is the best wiring ? #5
