Simple Question About Keyboards...
|
| DjWoody |
Hello guys.
Here's a question that might seem stupid to some. As some of you know, I'm looking for a keyboard controller and a hardware synth.
To save cash, if I buy a hardware synth with a keyboard built in, can I use that keyboard as a Midi Controller too?
For instance the Nord Leed 2X. If I buy it, can I use the built in keyboard as a Midi controller?
I ask, because a good keyboard is about $400-$600. Which is the same price difference between the Nord Rack 2X & the Nord Leed 2X.

| Yes you can, as long as you have some MIDI connections. |

| in a brosjure i have from a local shop it even says that NL2X can "perfectly be used as a midicontroller for Propheads Reason" as part of the advertise :wtf: |

Be aware, though, that the only guaranteed MIDI outputs you'll get from a synth/controller are note on/off (with velocity/aftertouch), mod wheel, and pitch wheel.
So the downside to using a synth as a controller is that the knobs won't be assignable to whatever MIDI channel you want. But the Virus TI can do that in controller mode. |

isnt that only to enable sysex Tx? I never tried it when i had the synth but im assuming that will work? U can record knob-movements in the daw atleast and then pass that channel on to a VST? or am i wrong. as stated ive never tried this kinda stuff, hardware was too complicated for me. |
