I’ve got a very simple setup: Squarp Pyramid connected to Iconnectivity mio 10 via the USB host port and a MacBook into the USB 2. DIN 1 goes out to a midi thru-box to an OB-6 (ch 2) and Prophet X (ch 3)
The clock signal runs fine, but I can’t get the Pyramid to trigger notes on my two synths. I have connected the Pyramid directly to the synths, so the problem is most likely that I don’t understand how to route the midi channels in the iConnectivity software. The manual didn’t do it for me.
I would like the Squarp Pyramid to start/stop the Logic sequencer AND trigger notes on my synths, but I can’t figure out how to make it happen.
PS: I am connecting more gear to the Mio, I just figurered it would be less confusing making two synths work initially.
I’m probably overlooking something basic here, and it’s driving me nuts.
PS: I have posted the exact same question on Reddit:
Thanks for answering. When connecting Pyramid directly to the synths, via the din-ports, it works as expected, but I have not made it work using midi over usb. Since Pyramid connects to Mio using usb I’m not sure where the problem is.
You can try hooking up Pyramid to a computer via USB and use a DAW or MIDIOx to monitor.
Since you get clock via USB, and i dont think USB MIDI Clock is a default setting, then I assume you are familiar with Settings in the Pyramid and are properly creating Tracks with their Channel and Port settings.
I use the USB MIDI In/Out on the Pyramid with no problems, but i do not use a Mio (i like them and could use one, but havent pulled the trigger yet). Have you set up the routing on the Mio properly and/or posted on iConnectivity forums?
The midi in/out (din-ports) works perfectly, it’s just really annoying that I can’t make the usb to Mio work. I’ve set up tracks corresponding to the midi-channels on the synths, and since it’s working via the din-ports I’m pretty sure the problem is related to the (lack of) routing in the Mio software. I will post the same query in the iConnectivity-forum, was just hoping someone in this one had experience setting up the Pyramid with Mio.
Edit: actually, I can’t get any of the synths works directly connected to usb either…so the problem might be me;)
