Midi Issue For Newbie With A Midisport 8x8- Help! Options

[12xu]

I'm tearing my hair out here cause I cant figure out why one of my devices won't work in my Midisport 8x8/s. It's a Cheetah rack synth module, a lot older than my other gear. Everything else is working through the Midisport just fine and, if I use my Korg Triton as a midi controller direct to the Cheetah (without incorporating the Midisport) the messages are recieved fine. BUT- if I, for example, connect the Korg to Midi In 1 and the Cheetah to Midi Out 1 on the Midisport, there's nothing! Is there some other issue I can check, beyond the patchbay configuration on my laptop and the cables (all are fine)? Anything to do with it being an older bit of kit? Any ideas?!?! ANYONE?!?!

Next question - what MIDI channel(s) do you have the Cheetah receiving on and in what mode? Do you have an implementation chart for the Cheetah? The chart will tell you how the device responds to MIDI information (since it works plugged directly into the Korg, it's clear that it's a configuration issue). Also, you will need to specify the transmit/receive channels in the Audio MIDI Setup application in OSX for the devices in question. Have you set up the Cheetah, the MIDISport and the Korg in the AMS utility? You will need to have the In/Out's for each device configured properly in AMS. Before going further, have you gotten this far? BTW, I personally haven't ever needed to break pins out of a MIDI cable, so I'm not sure where that's coming from...
