2HP MIDI exander - confused

[XORadmin]

- The SAMPLE8 output is a audio output and not related to Midi at all.

- The 2HP expander will never get recognized as there is no recognition for it. It just works.

- Do you use a stereo cable (good) or a regular patch cable (bad)?

- You can simply do a self-test with the expander by connecting the STEREO cable from the output to the input of the midi expander. Then play your sequence. In the Midi/I2C Setup screen you should see the note on and note off messages you sent as being received in the statusbar.

Thanks!
I'm using a stereo cable (which is quite old, I admit).

So I tried the self-test - output from the 2hp expander into its own input. I found the Midi/I2C setup screen. When I run the sequencer I don't see anything happening in that setup screen. So possibly my stereo cable is bad I guess?

Update: I tried it again with a different stereo cable, still seeing nothing on the setup screen when running the pattern. Not quite sure whats going wrong.

Share your sequence, maybe the issue is there.
Also be sure that you are not using the A-B cable with the loopback.
Also did you triy both outputs (the other one set to out, switch to the left).

Reconnect the ribbon cable a few times and do connect the ribbon cables only when the system is turned off!!!
