Hi Guys,
This is my first post into the forum and I am really hoping that someone can offer me some help. I am fairly sure that the issue is me being new to home recording etc and needing a small nudge in the right direction :-)!!
OK, I have a MAC pro, Lexicon Lambda interface & a Roland Fantom x8. I am running Cubase Studio 4.
The issue that I am having is that I want to use the sounds from my fantom on MIDI tracks, but I am unable to hear any MIDI playback. I see MIDI activity when I record and I can see that data is being recorded into the track. When I playback, I can see the blue meter showing an ouput, but I simply hear nothing.
Connection wise, I have MIDI OUT from the fantom to MIDI IN on the Lexicon and MIDI OUT from the Lexicon to MIDI IN on the fantom. The Lexicon is connected to the MAC via USB2.0 and appears to be installed correctly. I have a cheap monitor (powered) connected to the output (left) of the Lexicon. My MAC is set to use the Lexicon as default in/out.
Within the MIDI track, I select "all midi inputs" as input and the fantom as the output.
If I connect a guitar to the line level input and lay down an audio track, I hear audio during recording and playback, but not with MIDI.
I have also tried connecting the outputs of the fantom to the inputs of the Lexicon. This way, I can hear sound during recording, but not during MIDI playback.
I hope this makes sense!?
What am I doing wrong!??! Any help, you can offer would be very gratefully receieved, no matter how much of a fool it makes me feel :-)
Thankyou,
Chris
