Re: how to use multi expander and synthe out???

frenchyprod,
I think you have asked many large questions here, and perhaps that is why no replies. There IS MUCH good information in the FLS help file. You can start from midi settings...

The out side may be easiest. If I understand correctly you have an 8 in 8 out midi interface installed to service your 6 pieces of external equipment. You should find the out put side of that interface in the FLS midi settings dialog with names like "midi out 1", "midi out 2", "midi out 3", etc. EACH of these is a MIDI output interface. Now follow this from the help file...

MIDI Output options
Click on the MIDI output interface to be used, once an interface is selected it will become highlighted. For each interface selected you can make independent 'Send master sync' and 'Port number' settings.

To map an output MIDI device -
Port number - This is a unique channel over which MIDI data is communicated between MIDI devices inside the computer (255 Ports are available). The option assigns a Port number to your MIDI interface (Port numbers don't apply to external MIDI hardware attached to your MIDI interface). Make sure the MIDI Out plugin/s you use to control external MIDI hardware are set to the same MIDI Port number as selected here. The Port number chosen is not important. Selecting '---' will free the MIDI interface for use by other MIDI software.
NOTE: Make sure Enable MIDI output is selected in the Options menu, 'MIDI output' will be disabled otherwise.

Send master sync - Master sync tells connected MIDI devices to follow FL Studio's start/stop/play commands, etc. FL Studio will send a 'Master sync' signal only if the button is selected (orange).
NOTE: Make sure Enable MIDI master sync is selected in the Options menu, 'Send master sync' will be disabled otherwise.

Synchronization type - Sets the synchronization type. This is the time/code format used for syncing MIDI devices to play/start/stop commands, etc. MIDI clock is normally used. See the manual associated with your external MIDI device/s for details.


Then look under the midi out plugin...
"Using external synthesizers, drum machines & other MIDI devices

If you want to incorporate the sounds from external MIDI hardware, so it is exported along with the rest of your internal plugins in the final render, you will need to:

Set the Port numbers - Select your MIDI interface Output in the MIDI Settings and make sure the Port number matches the Port number on MIDI Out.
Send master sync - ...
Make MIDI connections - ...
Set the MIDI Channels - ..."
and so on...
