Arp Sync(again)

Arp Sync(again)

2002-09-07 by Kambiz Gilani

I search through the entire discussions about syncing
the AN1's Arp to a external midi clock.
Everything make sense until I want to record the
synced material. Does it have to be recorded back on
midi or you just have to go with recording the audio
output of AN1x.
I would rather record the midi, but this recorded
midi sequence would start the AN1x Arp, which would
create a midi loop. of course I can not record on a
"no output track"!

It depends...if you have a number of MIDI and Audio tracks
running simultaneously in your MIDI/Audio sequencer (Logic
Audio, Cubase, Sonar, ProTools Free) you might find it beneficial
to simple sync the AN1x Seq/Arp until you're ready for mixdown.
At that point record the AN1x audio output to a stereo track and
then MUTE the track containing the original MIDI data.

Recording the output of the AN1x Arp/Seq into your sequencer
allows you to reassign that data to other MIDI modules and/or
PlugIns - which can be VERY useful! In this case, set the MID Ptn
Tx Ch value (under the VOICE ARP/SEQ menu) to a MIDI
Channel other than the base Trns Ch your AN1x is set too. Once
you've successfully recorded the output from the AN1x Arp/Seq
into your sequencer simply resave the current AN1x Voice with
the Arp/Seq diabled! Now when you recall the AN1x voice in your
sequece it will respond to the note data without double triggering
the Arp/Seq (which I'm sure MANY of us have done inadvertanly
over time.)

HTH.

Jon

Thanks Jon,

I have another question:
Let say your are syncing the Arp of AN1x to your Logic Song at
140 bpm , but what you need is 280 bmp coming out of AN1x. but
it still have to be in time. how do you do it?

Try halving the timing division of the ARP/SEQ on the AN1x, i.e.,
sixteenth notes in place of eigths notes.
