I'm trying to use a laptop as a sound module (to make use of 4 extra analog outs that my laptop soundcard gives me)
I've set up 2 midi channels (1 and 2) on my PC, routed them from PC midi out to laptop midi in and into cubase midi channels 1 and 2. There is then 2 different synths on these channels, each with its own output from the soundcard and into its own channel on my mixing desk.
All seems quite straight forward in my head.. but when i play the sequenced midi from the master PC on say, midi channel 1, it is triggering both synths in the laptop, even though they are on seperate midi channels.
I have both midi channels in the laptop armed to record so that the 2 synths will play at the same time. But surely if the synths are on different midi channels, getting 2 different lots of information from different midi channels, they should play different things?
Am i right in thinking this should work? I mean this is exactly how a sound module works..
Feel like i'm missing something painfully obvious here
