Hello everyone,
I play mainly live gigs with my korg kronos as the main board. i thought of buying the alesis vortex wireless midi controller keytar and connect it wireless to the kronos. my question is, can i use the keytar as a midi-in device to the kronos and assign a separate midi channel to it 100% wireless via USB?. Is it the same efficiency and functions as if i am connecting it with an actual midi cable ?. Thanks

The Vortex wireless is plug and play. As soon as you plug in the little USB stick into the Kronos, you can immediately control the sound remotely from your Vortex.

But there is no MIDI IN on the Vortex. It's the same as having a MIDI cable going from Vortex OUT to the Kronos IN... one way only.
