AXON AX50 USB and Scope? Problems...

[rodos1979]

Hello!

Is anybody using successfully the AX50 with Scope? I can use it if I plug its MIDI Out to Scope MIDI IN but I have not managed yet to make it work connected to USB only, alongside Scope... Has anybody managed that? If yes, what kind of connections do you use in the Scope Routing Window and what ports do you choose in the AX50 PC Editor?

Thanks in advance for your help!

if you go via usb, you must go through a host, either a sequencer like cubase or a utility midi routing program like midiox...

yeah, bummer that it's not possible to directly use USB with Scope. One definite minor drawback IMO.

Otherwise I'd use my padKontrol for triggering drums. Using MIDI in this case is sluggish, and MIDIOX causes my system to get unstable (for some reason).

Otherwise my older Axon Ax-100 works OK using MIDI - although there is some noticeable delay and sluggishness in the response. Not sure why.

The AX-50 has hardware midi ports. Using it directly to Scope is sluggish?

[garyb]

the midi port should be faster than usb....

USB is a joke of a technology and a terd when it comes to MIDI.

As it is, back in the DOS days, MIDI rocked. Now, with Wondoze/Apple OS sitting on top of the I/O protocols, it's worse then ever.

I'm sticking with MIDI for my Axon AX-100. I think the AX-50 is reduced to USB only, so maybe there's a simple USB/MIDI cable adapter somewhere?

Like I mentioned MIDI-OX on my Scope system seems unstable.
