<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hey! So recently I've been looking at getting a Volca Keys as a first synth.</p> <p>I'm planning on using it not for live performance, but as a regular external synth in Ableton.</p> <p>Thing is, I already have a full sized midi keyboard connected in USB only (no midi pins) to my laptop. </p> <p>My goal is to control the synth using the full sized keyboard, and also being abled to use Ableton sequencer to trigger the synth.</p> <p>How would you guys approach this setup? I already have a focusrite solo card, but there's no midi whatsoever on it. I guess I would need to buy some midi box from ableton to the synth?</p> <p>(And also, since Volcas are cheap I will probably get a beats later in the process... So the midi issue would be also a problem, because I want to be able to control the two synth separately using the same midi keyboard)</p> <p>Thanks for the feedback!</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/madvock"> /u/madvock </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/j5n49x/controlling_volcas_with_usb_midi_ableton/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/j5n49x/controlling_volcas_with_usb_midi_ableton/">[comments]</a></span>
