Hi,

I have recently purchased an Edirol UA-25 and would like some advice
that will enable me to use the sound card in conjunction with Cubase
to record both audio and MIDI using VST instruments. I can set up the
Edirol UA-25 to record audio input but I am really struggling with the
MIDI side of things. The manual that comes with the Edirol does not
provide any information specific to MIDI either.

So far I have the following set up.

1. Edirol UA-25 connected to the computer via USB cable
2. Edirol PCR M30 connected to Edirol UA-25 using 2 MIDI cables.

Now I have set up Cubase to use the Edirol UA-25 as the sound card but
I want to be able to record and play VST instruments through the
Edirol. I have tried setting the MIDI ports in Cubase to the IN/OUT
ports but I don't get any joy with this. Using VST I'd normally then
set the output to the VST instrument but with the set up I have this
doesn't work.

Clearly I am doing something silly and realise that to someone who
understands MIDI I must seem naive. I do know how to record VST
instruments with the sound card that came with the computer ie
SoundMax HD Audio but I do not want to keep switching the sound card
to record MIDI unless I have to. Any advice on how I can set up my
Edirol UA-25 to work with MIDI and in particular VST would be great as
I am really stuck on this one.

Thanks
