OK, I just received the ROLLS mini mixer, and I have followed your connection suggestion and this is what I have now:
KNOB 1: controls the volume of SC55 soundtrack music of a given game
KNOB2: controls the volume of MT-32 soundtrack music of a given game
KNOB3: controls AWE64's sound effects volume, meaning that I can completely turn off the sound FX volume of a given game!
KNOB4: yet to be connected to UM-ONE and to be tested out
So far, so good, but what I don't understand is this:
1) Where does the AWE64 LINE-IN go to? Nowhere at all?
2) I was always under the impression that:
* The game code sends out the MIDI (and the sound FX) instructions via Joystick MIDI-OUT
* SC55 (or MT-32) receives this code and processes it
* This processed data is sent BACK to AWE64 via LINE-IN (AWE64's LINE-IN)
* Finally, AWE64 LINE-OUT, sends music AND sound FX to the speakers
3) Again, it seems that LINE-IN of AWE64 can be left out, and connected to NOTHING!
4) I don't like the fact the I can adjust the volume of AWE64 sound FX (connected to Knob 3 of ROLLS)
Your insightful input is appreciated as always!
