I just bought the Miniak editor, but am unable to control the synth through the editor.
I have the editor running on my laptop. I am using a Behringer USB/Audio interface into which I have R & L audio cables from the Miniak. Then I have RCA cables running out of the USB/Audio interface into my amplifier. The USB cable is connected to my laptop.
I am using Audacity as the recording software. It "sees" the USB/Audio codec and I can record whatever I play on the synth. The USB/Audio interface allows "audio" to come into my laptop, but not MIDI.... and I'm guessing that is the problem.
However, the Miniak editor isn't "seeing" the synth, because when I try to "request a patch", the message pops up saying "No Miniak available."
I'm guessing that I don't have any MIDI connections coming into my laptop. I am very unfamiliar with MIDI and don't know how/what to do at this point.
I want to be able to use the editor to tweak the patches/presets/programs (whatever you want to call them), adjust ADSR, etc. But at this point, the editor isn't seeing the Miniak... and I'm sure it's a MIDI thing.
So.... can someone help me out here? I'd really appreciate a reply... and one that considers that I am a newbie to MIDI.
Many thanks.
