hi i am using a laptop and usb to control my M50 can i send midi to a
tc helicon harmony m via the midi out of the M50,or can you only use either
usb or midi connections .

thanks steve

I believe that if the USB is connected and active, the MIDI is unusable. You could easily and quickly try this yourself to confirm.

hi sorry i have not recived my harmony m yet,thanks for reply.

steve

I've used the M50 hooked to a computer and receiving MIDI data from a controller via the standard MIDI plug with no issues whatsoever, so I don't think you'll have any problem.

thanks for your reply will give it a try when harmony m arrives.

all the best steve

hi my harmony m arrived this morning i can get it working with the m50
but i want to control it from a midi file on channel 5.
i have set the harmony m to recieve on channel 5 in manual mode but it recieves no midi from the m50.
has anyone got the harmony m and use it with m50 ant help would be great.

thanks for being helpful steve

What type of tracks are you using? Probably your MIDI file is brought into the sequencer with INT tracks, and what you need is EXT or BTH, depending on whether you want that track to sound on the M50 as well as the Harmony or just on the Harmony.

hi Kanthos thanks for the reply i am trying to run a midi file from
Sonar 8 into the midi in of the m50 and then send midi out on channel 5 of
the m50 into harmony m channel 5 using manual mode.Could you help
with the m50 settings.

thanks steve

I didn't realize you were playing the MIDI from sonar. In that case, use the THRU from your M50 and make sure that any MIDI coming from Sonar to the Harmony is on channel 5.

The M50 doesn't have a midi Thru port. Only IN and OUT.
