I use FL Studio or Ableton to send out tempos to a Midi Splitter / Thru Box which has single lines out to my board, electribe2, and I was hoping to send one as well to the Otto as well as have a preset box for the Otto.
That will work. Especially if you set FL Studio or Ableton to send Program Change messages and Expression Pedal data (CC #4)
Awesome! so to be clear, and sorry for needing it specifically laid out, if I grab a DMC-4 I could use it as a preset box for the Ottobit AND still have it receive tempo for the Ottobiy THRU the DMC4 so that my whole rig stays in time?
That should work, but that is more of a question for Disaster Area Designs. From the DMC-4 manual "MIDI Input: The MIDI output jack doubles as a MIDI input using a Disaster Area MIDI Y-cable (sold separately.) The MIDI input allows the DMC Gen3 to accept incoming MIDI messages and merge them in with its own data stream." I have a DMC-4, but I don't have their Y-cable to test it out for you.
The Ottobit Jr. will certainly handle the MIDI messages in its input, so if the DMC-4 handles the merge you should be good to go. It wouldn't hurt to contact them to be sure, though.
