Help needed: Recording both audio and midi simultaneously

[frankpuccino]

Dear musicians,

I am having a session tomorrow and trying to use XF8 for the first time. I'm mainly going to record audio from the synth from line out L and R into DI box then into studio, and I also want to connect XF8 to my laptop via USB cable and record midi data in DAW at the same time. I wish to know if that is possible. In other words, I would like to know if connecting XF8 to a computer via USB does or does not interfere/block audio output of XF8.

you'll be fine. it can handle both simultaneously.

To my knowledge, audio output never automatically cuts off MIDI output.

And conversely, sending the MIDI output to another device-- be it to a sound module via MIDI cables, or to a computer via USB, etc.-- doesn't cut off the audio output, which is why keyboards have a Local Control setting that lets you turn off the onboard sound generators when you want to use the keyboard as a MIDI controller.
