Awesome, thanks again!oldgearguy wrote:Glad to help.

Total cost (minus the iPad/Lemur, other MIDI cables) : $30 (Apple CCK), + $32 (Emu XMIDI cable) + $120 (MX-8) = $182.
This is a subset of what I have set up in my home studio (there's also a separate 16x32 MIDI patchbay plus lots of other audio patchbays, processors, synths, etc).
If you're currently using this setup and it works I'm going to copy it
note that it's been a while since I set up my config... You'd have to assign the iPad input to A and the master keyboard to B (on the far right of the screen) then choose M (for merged) as your input to the other devices. the MX-8 manual has this exactly described on page 4 of the manual.
