sending MIDI expression data to two Macs?

Hi - I have a keyboard rig with redundant backup via KVM switch and a Radial SW8-USB. I need to send the Expression device data to two computers (Mac Minis) at the same time. I'm assuming I can connect the MIDI expressions to the KVM switch and it will send to both rigs... anyone have experience wit...

Re: MIDI expression iO

Indeed, very frustrating. This model came out only 2/3 years ago, and costs $1500USD. Thanks for the advice, I guess I'll order the iO version.

Re: MIDI expression iO

Yes, there is a USB-to-device port on the front that's USB-A. I think it's is only for audio/MIDI file playback/storage. The manual says the port supports USB flash drives, hubs, and wireless LAN adaptors. I'll give it a shot. And in the meanwhile, I'll check to see if anyone else has had luck conne...

Re: MIDI expression iO

Alternatively, would I be able to somehow connect a standard MIDI expression device to the p515 keyboard via its USB-to-host port, since the keyboard supports USB-MIDI? I saw online some adaptors to go from a mini-USB port to a USB-type B port (the square-ish type). Happy to ask others on the forum ...

MIDI expression iO

Hi Rob - I'm normally play keyboard controllers through a MacBook for samples and use your USB devices, but I'm looking to do a setup with keyboard only, and there's only one pedal port on this particular model (Yamaha p515). If I want to operate more pedals, would the iO expression device do the tr...

BOSS FV-500L volume pedal

Hi all, I've been trying to use this BOSS pedal for MIDI expression, and I'm having troubles with erratic controller data. I'm not sure if it's the pedal itself, or my connection. I'm currently using a regular 1/4" patch cable in the 'expression' port. The pedal is supposed to be dual-purpose a...
