hookup xboard25 2 808 2 control virus b

Post by Kingdev666 »

hi i hope sum one can help
a week ago i got mc808 and virus b.
i would like to use 808 as sequencer and drumbox.

this is how i want my signal flow
midi flow starts at xboard through the 808 to the virus. easy as pie (u'd think)

this is wats happening
the xboard is the new keypad for da808 but then stops there
and now the 808 keys trigger the virus YYYYYY?
when i hook up xboard to virus most of da 16 midi knobs are also assigned to stuff u can tweek,
now thats also lost if i go through the 808

is it posible to use a silent bank and trigger ther virus with xboard via the 808
i hope this makes sence eng not my 1st lang.

thanx D


ps remember to krank it.. there is nothing better that a pissed off nieghbour

You might want to use "soft thru", same as midi-thru. Or you can have the part param set to external out instead of both. This method will send midi data from channel ?? out to your Virus without any sound from the MC-808.
