Hi Guys hope you can help me

I am looking to use looping software on my pc (Ambiloop) I have an fcb1010 connected to the gr55 via midi out to midi in on the gr55. From their out off the GR-55 to the pc via usb cable.

Now can i make a midi control message from my fcb1010 in and then out of the gr55 to control the looper on my pc as the fcb1010 only has midi out and pc only has usb.

Sorry if this is a dull qu but i am new to the gr55 and midi

many thanks for your help  8)

One of these should do the job

ESI MIDIMATE II - USB 2.0 MIDI Interface Cable $29.95

The MIDIMATE II from ESI/Ego-Sys is a USB 2.0 MIDI interface housed in a convenient cable form. The two MIDI connectors will function in the standard configuration of MIDI In and MIDI Out, but the interface also automatically detects the incoming and outgoing MIDI signals and assigns them appropriately. This means the interface can deliver 32-channels of either input or 32-channels of output if required.

[ So this cable can act like a MIDI Input Merge box, or a MIDI Output Thru Box for iPad+CCK ]

The interface is compatible with Windows XP, Windows 7 (32-, 64-bit) and Vista (32-, 64-bit), as well as Mac OS X. The interface works instantly after being plugged in to the computer, with no driver installation required. [ i.e, Will also work with iPad / Android]
USB MIDI interface with 2 MIDI connectors, each can work as independent input or output
High-speed connection to USB 2.0 or 1.1 equipped PC or Mac computer
Bus powered - requires no external power supply
No driver needed for Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 and Mac OS X

Thanks looks cool

Will I be able to control both gr55 and pc at the same time? Eg 5 pedals for gr55 and 5 for the pc on fcb1010 would like to do live looping

Thanks again for your help

You will also need UNO chip for FCB-1010

And a MIDI Routing utility like  MIDI-Yoke
