2HP MIDI exander - confused

[kilgore]

Hi there!

My 2hp MIDI expander arrived yesterday and I'm trying to use it to control the Arturia Microfrek, so far unsuccessfully.

So the expander is plugged into the Nerdseq and recognized. I've got Track 8 setup as a MIDI track.

I have the OUT of the expander going into the MIDI IN on the Microfreak using a TRS A->B dongle (Arturia uses TRS B).

I'm sending out from the Nerdseq on MIDI channel 1, and the Microfreak is also set to receive on channel 1.

Question 1) Do I need to connect the "SAMPLE 8" Output to the "IN" jack of the expander, or is MIDI already being sent out through the connection between the expander and the Nerdseq?

Just not sure what I'm doing wrong. Something on the Nerdseq not setup right? Something on the Microfreak? Wrong cables?

Thanks for any help!
