Newbie: No MIDI "in" - how to hook up MIDI Expression in Standalone

Post by rdsllm »

My controller has MIDI OUT and USB OUT. It doesn't have MIDI IN. It also only has a Sustain pedal input.

I'm interested in buying the MIDI Expression with the single input so I can use my FC7 with Hammond B-3X for iOS. I go MIDI Out from the controller to a Korg PlugKey, Lightning out to my iPad.

From reading the MIDI Expression manual, it appears the controller needs to have a MIDI IN DIN. So my question is how exactly would I hook up my FC7 pedal? Or do I need a different controller that has MIDI IN?

Sorry, confused here : )

If you used an iO, you could connect your controller to the iO MIDI In port and then the iO MIDI out to the Korg PlugKey.
