I have an A-500PRO controller and want to be able to access a choice of hardware soundbanks (Sonic Cell, Korg) without midi chaining.
I'm not looking for a midi interface as such - I am happy with my Focusrite Saffire - all I want to do is use my single controller to access sounds from one of two or three hardware sources at will without recabling.
If I could merge/layer selections from more than one bank at a time, so much the better, but not a requirement.
Can anyone recommend a suitable piece of kit for my needs.
I have heard of the Edirol UM-550 - would that be a good example?
