Hello,
I’m seriously considering buying the HAPAX, as it looks like an amazing machine for live performance.
That said, I’m still fairly new to advanced MIDI routing on the hardware side, and I’m trying to figure out a setup that would let me control all of my MIDI gear:
-
1 drum machine
-
4 synthesizers
-
1 sound module (expander)
From what I understand, I have a few constraints:
-
I only have one MIDI THRU port (on the Integra-7).
-
The Integra-7 has 16 Parts (16 sounds), corresponding to MIDI channels 1–16.
-
The JD-XA has 4 Analog Parts (MIDI channels 1–4) and 4 Digital Parts (MIDI channels 5–8).
-
The JD-Xi has 2 Analog Parts (MIDI channels 1–2), 1 Drum Part (channel 10), and 1 Digital Part (channel 3).
To be honest, I’m starting to get a bit lost, as I don’t yet have enough experience with MIDI routing on the HAPAX.
My goal is to optimize:
-
the MIDI ports (where the messages travel),
-
the MIDI channels (which instrument or part receives the messages),
-
and the CC messages (which parameters are being controlled).
Does anyone have any advice on how you would approach this setup?
I’ve put together a first wiring diagram to help me understand what should be connected where:
Thank you so much.
