Am newbie, need basic help regarding midi setup (sorry!)

[hankdennemann]

Hello all:

Weekend musician. Just bought a TI Desktop, first Access product I've owned, love it, can't believe I haven't gotten into the analog game sooner.

Never had two pieces of gear that I have had to sync together before. I am controlling the TI with a Korg Triton Extreme. I have midi in/out from the computer to the Triton, with Midi Through going to the TI. It occured to me that I need a midi out going from the TI to the computer, though, to record the controller changes.

So, should my setup be: Computer midi out to Triton In, Triton Out to TI In, and TI Out to computer In? I have tried that, but when I go to record, nothing comes into the system.

I am using Sonar. I set everything to midi sync, and I have to press start and stop on the Triton sequencer to get Sonar to start recording/playback (which I think is normal).

But I am having a hard time getting the right setup for the Access. I know this is basic, but can someone tell me how it should be done and what TI settings should be made to make sure that it takes the midi sync from the Triton?

Thank you SO MUCH in advance for the help.
