Akai Force vs external gear issue
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I have my Akai force and it’s doing wonders for my setup. However I hit a snag today and could use some help. </p> <p>I have a Keystep plugged into the Force via USB. The Force recognized it and it appears in all my routing menus. From there I have it being sent out on channel 2 to my DSI Evolver. But alas the Evolver will not make sounds no matter how I route and monitor it. The thing is that the MIDI activity light on the Evolver blinks when I hit keys on the Keystep or pads on the Force, so it seems like it’s being routed correctly. </p> <p>If I plug the Keystep directly into the Evolver with a din cable it works just fine. </p> <p>Also, while troubleshooting I discovered that 1/8” trs to din does not work at all in this setup (I used a ts-din to get the above result). Coming out of the Force it does not even cause the MIDI indicator light to blink. Is this a known issue? All my other gear is just fine with the very same converters. </p> <p>I wasn’t expecting to start my external gear journey this way. Any input or ideas would be much appreciated.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Stellar_unit"> /u/Stellar_unit </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/sooyfu/akai_force_vs_external_gear_issue/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/sooyfu/akai_force_vs_external_gear_issue/">[comments]</a></span>
