Hello
I just hooked up my motu midi express xt up to an Editor ua 101 w/platinum as the daw.
The motu is an 8 midi in and 8 midi out. But it is much more than that. It is 16 midi channels per each of those in and outs, giving a total of 128 midi channels.
So here's my issue;
When I create a midi track in platinum~on the input choice I have any of the 8 ports, and as you mouse over any port you can pick any of the 16 midi channels on that port.
That is perfect. That is the way it's supposed to be.
However on the output choice I should have exactly the same choice, but nay nay, not so. It shows something like port 2 on 3, port 4 on 5, port 6 on 7 and so on.
It only gives me a few choices and I'm not even certain where those choices lead to.
In short, it should simply be identical to the input side.
The input side looks beautiful when you mouse over the choices. It shows all 8 ports with a small arrow to the right of each port. Mouse over any port and 16 midi channels pop up.
Not so on the output.
Sorry, I repeated myself.
I have switched midi cables, that's not it. But I certainly don't know what is.
Anyone out there using a 'newer' version of the motu midi express xt usb with platinum?
Thanks for any help or ideas
Joni

you actually have the same options. it's just implement in a "more useful" way for MIDI OUT, let me explain ...
 
MIDI IN you don't often have to select, so it's OK to have that sitting in some sub menu of a sub menu down in the input/output section of the inspector ... often it's OK to leave it at OMNI ...
 
MIDI OUT is different. you need to give it a channel. and you want that visible - hence it sits in the track inspector. you can select which channel to send MIDI to independent from the channel you recorded it from (see here, button indicated by "S")
