![]() I don't have a midi cable to test this.Īt this point, my best guess is that for some reason the XP-80 isn't receiving the midi data from Reaper (even though I know it's being sent). To test the midi connection, it asks you to plug one midi cable into the midi ports, thus creating a loop that I assume it uses to test the flow of midi. I've put the XP-80 into test mode ( with help from these instructions), but wasn't able to deduce much from it. I'm not an electrical engineer, so that's about the extent of what I can do there. I've opened up the innards of the XP-80 to make sure there aren't any cables that are unplugged. I'm sending "bank/program select" information in the midi data from Reaper to the XP-80 That is the channel I've got Reaper sending the midi to on the XP-80. The patches in the XP-80 are set to receive midi on Channel 1. Local Switch is set to "OFF" on the XP-80 Nick Cooper's old training video on how to send midi to the Roland XP-80 and have it read it Kenny Goia's very helpful video on how to do this in Reaper (though not specifically for the XP-80) Here are the resources I've consulted thus far to try to figure this out: However, here's the problem: When I play the midi track in Reaper which is being sent to the XP-80, I don't get any sound out of the XP-80 (boo!). When I play the keys on the XP-80, I can monitor it within Reaper and hear everything perfectly (again, huzzah!). I'm routing the XP-80 audio signal coming in from the Audient iD14 into a track on Reaper. I can play the keys on the XP-80 and get signal in the Audient iD14 and hear everything great (huzzah!). To get audio out of the XP-80, I've got a cable running from the XP-80's MIX out to the Direct Input on an Audient iD14. I also get "Active Sense" messages from the XP-80 as well when the midi cable is plugged in.) When I play the keyboard, Midi Monitor sees the data and I can record it into Reaper. (And, for what it's worth, the Roland XP-80 can send midi data to Reaper. I know it is sending the data because I'm monitoring it via this "Midi Monitor" software. I've got a track in Reaper with midi data on it that I've routed to send to Channel 1 on the XP-80. I've got my XP-80 connected with my Mac via a midi-to-USB cable ( this cheap cable I bought 10 years ago). I've literally spent hours trying to figure out why I can't make this work and it's driving me crazy. I'd like to be able to create midi tracks in Reaper that I can send to my Roland XP-80 to use some of its patches.
