MIDI from my MicroKorg --> Nord Lead 2X?
I have the MicroKorg's MIDI Thru port plugged into the Nord's MIDI In. I've specified separate channels for each instrument (5 for MicroKorg, 1-4 for banks 1-4 on Nord). I can play midi back through each device/bank independently successfully using my DAW, but I am having trouble getting the MicroKorg to still function as it's own controller for that channel. I'm wondering if there is a MIDI parameter in the Nord Lead 2X that is blocking that channel's signal?

Re: MIDI from my MicroKorg --> Nord Lead 2X?
The issue is not into the NL2X, you might have just put the "local on" feature on the Korg to "Off", meaning that the korg won't receive at the same time, the information from its keyboard and the information from the DAW. Usially you do that when you are working with a daw in order to avoid any "Midi echo"...So, re-activate it or just click on the track in your DAW which is for your NL and choose in the scrolldown menu, the Korg as the master (The keyboard that the midi is coming from...)

Re: MIDI from my MicroKorg --> Nord Lead 2X?
Next thing, you said you have the midi thru going from the Korg to the In of the NL? You know that the thru is just re-sending what is coming from the Midi In, in that case, your Korg...So, if you have nothing connected to the korg midi in, nothing will go through the "midi Thru". So, if the midi out of your Korg is going into your daw, but you don't have your daw "out" going into your Korg, with the "local on" disabled, you will have nothing...

Re: MIDI from my MicroKorg --> Nord Lead 2X?
I guess I'll be a little more specific with how I have the midi routed. Here's that:
Interface Out --> Korg In
Korg Thru --> Nord In
Nord Out --> Interface In
Also good thought with the local settings on the Korg. I've tried it both set to On and Off and it doesn't work though.

Re: MIDI from my MicroKorg --> Nord Lead 2X?
Ok, did you try what I was saying about the midi channel chosen on your Daw....Which Daw do you have...I had the same issue in 2011 when I was restarting to use Cubase after a while and one guy on the forum helped me a lot, here is the link:
nord-stage-forum-f3/issue-with-nord-stage-i-motu-midi-interface-and-cubase-t4330.html
In fact, at that time, it was just a wrong connection between in and ou on the midi patchbay and also, because I was using a non powered USB multiport...
Hope it will help

Re: MIDI from my MicroKorg --> Nord Lead 2X?
Thanks for your help. I wasn't looking to control the Nord with the Korg, but rather be able to record midi using the Korg into the DAW. I've diagnosed the problem to be because the Nord doesn't have a MIDI thru port, it's impossible to do I'm pretty sure. I hadn't thought about the fact that the MIDI loop stops at the last device to only have an OUT not THRU. The Nord can therefore receive that data but not pass it on to the DAW from the OUT port.
I wasn't thinking about that, but again thanks anyways!
