TranceAddict Forums Archive > DJing / Production / Promotion > Production Studio Questions Regarding MIDI Setup w/ Reason View this Thread in Original format DJ Sunburn Ok I'm pretty confused right now about MIDI Setups. I'm not all too sure. But I have some questions. Say I have the following: A MIDI Keyboard Controller An Akai MPD16 USB Midi Pad Control Unit and An Evolution UC-33e Desktop MIDI Control Workstation How would I get these to work to where I could use them all in Reason and keep them hooked up to the computer? Would I need a MIDI interface? Or would I just need some cables? I have two USB inputs on my computer? But would I need something like an M-AUDIO MIDIsport 4x4 USB MIDI Interface So I could hook all these things up and use them simultaneously in Reason? Trance Fission yep, get the 4x4, plug it in.. then everything should setup almost automatically hey cheggy Your akai pad should plug into the USB, so you don't need a midi port for this. IF your keyboard has a USB connection, then you won't need a midi port for this either. If your keyboard only has midi connections, then yes, you will need a midi interface. The 4x4 you speek of has 4 ins and 4 outs. You only need 1 in at the moment. For expansion possibility, I would suggest the 2x2. Its a lot cheaper than the 4x4 which you don't need.
