Komplete Kontrol S88 - send MIDI out of USB and 5-pin MIDI

donovick

Thank you in advance.

How do I use USB MIDI and 5-pin MIDI to hardware synth simultaneously?

When connected to a PC via USB the MIDI DIN socket is now a MIDI oputput from the PC and not direct from the keyboard so you will need to select in whatever software you use that you want to send MIDI out that port:

There is no way to have the same MIDI from both USB and the DIN of hte keyboard, you have to use software on the PC to rout midi out the port.

Isn’t it just working by plugging the cables and putting the keyboard in midi mode?

Not with both USB and 5-pin simultaneously.

It appears USB MIDI is Port 1, and DIN is Port 2.

My solution - USB MIDI Port 1 out into Pro Tools MIDI track 1.

MIDI Track 2 - In - MIDI Track 1 / Out to Komplete Kontrol Port 2.

Now the MIDI data at Port 2 flows out the DIN to hardware synth.
