Title: Basic routing question--Midi-Yoke and Live5
Post by thudlike on Nov 30^th, 2005, 9:10pm

Hi, I'm new to the Midi-Ox/Yoke world and was hoping to find some advice. I'm trying to connect a Mixman dm2 controller for use with Ableton Live 5.02.
I have the dm2midi program installed as well as the Mixman software.
I have both Midi-Ox and Midi-Yoke installed.
In Midi-Ox, under Options/Midi Devices should I have all 8 Midi-Yoke inputs/outputs highlighted or just 1?
In Live, under Preferences, Midi/Sync should I highlight Track, Sync Remote for just one Midi-Yoke input and output?
Thanks for any guidance here...

I don't have a dm2 controller or Live, but I am guessing that the dm2midi program allows connecting a MIDI ouput port? If so, you could connect directly to Live without any MIDI-OX involvement: in dm2midi select MIDI Yoke 1 as Output. In Live, select MIDI Yoke 1 as Input.

If you want to use MIDI-OX for mapping, routing etc. it's a little more complicated: in dm2midi select MIDI Yoke 1 as Output. In MIDI-OX, select MIDI Yoke 1 as Input and select MIDI Yoke 2 as Output. In Live, select MIDI Yoke 2 as Input.

You would almost NEVER want to select all 8 MIDI Yoke ports at once. NEVER select the same numbered ports for both input and output with-in any software.

Thanks Jamie, appreciate your suggestions, I'll try it again.

By the way I discovered Midi-Yoke through Pdoom's dm2 site:
