ESX 1 Midi setup problem!!!

Post by tablet »

Hi! First i wanna tell you that i'm new at this so please don't laugh with my question :)
I have the esx1 the Radias and two other synths(i don't know if it's ok to tell the brands in Korgs forums anyway I want to synchronize them all via midi.I want to press play at Esx1 and the sequencer from Radias and from the other synths starts play(Is ok to use Esx as Master device?).Can anyone help me to make the connections and settings right? PLEASE HELP ME! THANKS!

electribes are probably the best master sequencers I've ever worked with, so yes do use that as master....

what you want to do is connect midi out to radias midi in, then from radias midi thru to your other synths midi in and so on... keep chaining untill they're all hooked up.

korg gear works flawlessly together straight out of the box so your radias should start playing or at least sync up when you hit play on the esx....

now as for other synths, it's more then ok to use other synth names here.... this isn't even an official korg forum... it's a user created place.

You will need to set tell the slaves to sync to External MIDI Clock. I know where it is on the Electribes (MIDI Menu), but not the Radias.

hey, this might sound dumb, but whats the point of hooking your radias to your EMX (or ESX)?

I have both, but I play them seperately.. im kinda new at programming and synthesis technology, but I dont understand this sequencer talk about the radias and electribes, and hooking them up via midi
radias, emx-1
