Sorry for doublepost but i think under midi no one is reading the last post, and i think most users maby know an answer to this.

And i cant figure it out exactly and not shure if i should buy that cable in the link now down or possible to get it different to work.

"I read the first posts but iam very beginner and not very good at all this technical stuff. i have a kaoss pad 3 and emx-1 which i want to connect to my speakers. I only have 1 midi cable and normal chinch cables which doesnt fit to my emx-1.

My onboard soundcard is connected over chinch to my kp3 input, and my kp3 chinch output goes to my sound system. Now i have connected my emx-1 via the midi cable from emx-1 output to kp3 input midi. But it doesnt work, do i need to do something else or should it work like that? i tryd to change midi clock on emx-1 to ext but it doesnt help either. some help would be nice.

Oh and my kp3 sound work fine on my speakers, i can make effects to all my soundcard output which will sound on my speakers. i just cant record whit this kind of setup, and not use single decks for effect. but im fine whit that for now, becuz i cant affor a mixer or other setup at the moment. and it doesnt seem to work over usb.

EDIT: i think via midi i cant even send the whole sound to the kp3 or? Maby i need this kind of cable, i guess than it works : http://www.kabeltje.com/bmz_cache/0/0a0 ... 20x120.JPG Midi is only to send the timing so that both machines whit midi are in same bpm / speed right? its getting more complicated every day damn "

sorry for bad english, hope some1 can help me

The problem here is that MIDI data is information, not sound. Connecting your devices by MIDI cable will only allow devices to share information like tempo for example. For what you want to do, you need different cables.

Sound comes out of the 1/4" outputs on the EMX. Connect these to the RCA inputs on your KP3, then connect the KP3's RCA outputs to a soundcard/interface your computer recognizes.

bingo.

you're on the right track now.

EMX (clock int) ----MIDI---> KP3 (clock ext) or the other way around

at this stage of things you might want to go into the MIDI settings (hold shift, press 'MIDI') of the KP3 and disable 'note' and 'CC' (set them to 'dis') otherwise your EMX will send note and control change data to your KP3. If you disable these your EMX wont "interfere" with what you are doing on the KP3

EMX -L/R out--1/4inch--RCA--> KP3 (audio)
KP3 --RCA---> PC (if you want to record..theres many free audio recording softwares available online)
PC ----> sound system
