What's your problem?I have a behringer UMX490 plugged by UBS into my pc . Do I need a specific sound device plugged into the MIDI output or will it play though my computer

by using a midi editor, midi data cannot be changed while traveling through the cable there are 127 different options for midi, and it needs a digital platform to funtion correctly for paramaters.

Hi, from what I can tell you cound plug your CX3 into the synth module with a 1/4 inch patch cable and run the audio through it, however I think you will be quite limited in what you can do to modify your sound.

Where the synth really works well is when you feed it digital input data. For you to be able to do that your CX3 would need midi outputs and while I don't have one, I looked it up and can see that the CX3 is too old and does not have midi capability.

Midi (musical instrument digital interface) is a common language that allows musical devices such as your fantom to communicate with other devices. A keyboard with midi running into a synth is in essence just a control surface, a way for you to input data into your synth module, it is making no sound itself, but rather outputting digital data into your synth which in turn generates the sounds you want it to. There are allot of keyboards out there that are only for this purpose and are simply controllers. For example, M-Audio Oxygen 61 - 61-Key USB MIDI Controller. I'm afraid your CX3 is just too old to be able to do this, however, I imagine some of the sounds that thing makes are very vintage and good, and modern synthesizers often times just cant reproduce that (though they are getting batter all the time). Hope that helps :)

Sounds like it may have failed. Yes, it is likely that it needs to be returned. Another option is to unplug all inputs and outputs. Plug in ONE device into the board, and use the headphone jack on the board. Does it sound the same? Just basic troubleshooting may help.

Mic level in the windows control might be muted or off. The sound functions are a control panel iterm Or in Macs it is a CDEV.

Also check to make sure the program has that input enabled as well.

and make sure you start out with fresh batteries, double check where you have things plugged in, so you are not plugged into the worng port plug on the computer

You need to either connect it using a MIDI interface card and cables from the PC or you can use a RS232 serial cable which may be hard to find for your PC. It appears to use the 7 wire RS232 type connector at the mixer board end. You can get USB to MIDI converter devices from several sources.

what program are you running and did you set up your keyboard with the software so it can recognize it. Depending on what software it is your using as soon as I know I can tell you how to get it working. I use my midi keyboard with everything from reason, Ableton live, pro tools logic logic express vdj traktor basically every software!

First thing to check is look in the Windows Control Panel at the the "Sounds and Devices" and verify that the 2442USB IS the device for both input and output instead of the usual PC audio devices. You should see a pulldown list including both for those... If not, your SW driver is NOT loaded properly.

Midi doesn't actually "make sound". If your trying to record the patterns you made on the DR-5 to the recorder you need to use an audio output(I don't remember if they are RCA or 1/4" on the DR-5.) The midi output would be used to"trigger sounds" in another device that has sounds built in, or you could also trigger sounds in a program that supports midi input.

Sounds to me like you have the midi tracks outputting to the microsoft midi mapper or wavetable synth, which is built into the sound chip in your pc, and that this is conflicting with the mobilepre sound card - midi is just data, no audio, needs to drive some kind of synth. what you want to do is disable your internal sound card thru device manager, then just use the m-audio mobile pre as the input/output sound card in ASIO mode - you'll need to monitor via the headphone jack on the mobile pre or plug speakers into the line outs on the interface.

Then do tutorial 8 (in help files) on using soft synths - INSERT>SOFTSYNTHs creates a midi track and an audio track in a track folder.

Good luck.

The dude.
