I have a little problem that has been annoying to me for a long time. I have a SB Live! soundcard with the digital I/O daughterboard. When connecting my keyboard (just keyboard, no synth) to the MIDI-in at the daughterboard it works OK. The problem is: I like to connect my SB AWE32 cards MIDI out (placed in another PC) to MIDI in on the Live!-card. Why? Don´t I have enough power in my Live!-card? The problem is that my music-attempt made in the AWE32 card will sound terrible in the Live!-card. By MIDI-connecting them to each other I can have the best of both worlds ... or that is what I hope for. I can use the AWE32 as a "slaveunit" and trig it with the Live! (and even add some extra "new" sounds). My poor MIDI-keyboard has just a MIDI out so I can´t use it for looping which I wish. I have heard that I can use a MIDI loop and connect a large amount of MIDI instruments. When I skip the MIDI-keyboard and make a loop to and from the soundcards they can not "recognize" each other. PLEASE HELP ME any MIDI-guru!
