Question or possible suggestion

Post by Dafrog »

Hi. Thanks for your ingenious concepts. I just want to describe my setup so you can tell me if you have a solution for this in your current line of products.
I'm using a Nektar impact 88 controler, and a Code 49 keyboard, which have only one pedal input, this is the case on on many controllers, some of them even dedicate that input to CC64, with no option to change. I use them in a setting where the USB output powers the keyboard, and sends out the midi info.
All I want to do is add a second pedal (expression/volume) to my setup. So far so good, your single input device could do that trick very well. There are however two issues. I don't have a USB input to spare, and secondly. and more importantly, this would require me to create a new "input instrument in my DAW, that combines my keyboard and your device, every time I need to use te expression pedal.
An ideal device would be one that takes the USB output of the keyboard and the output of the pedal, and merges them over one USB out that would go to my DAW and be seen as one instrument.
Would any of your devices currently allow me to do exactly that?
Thank for your time.

Unfortunately not. Most DAWs however let you set the MIDI input of a track to 'ANY' MIDI device connected to the system, merging the MIDI data on the fly.
