Re: Internal Rec vs. Software

2004-02-01 by sjhart110110

When looking at the midi events that get generated by the DC3A.  
They are just basic note on, duration, volume, etc.  (since I don't 
have the PRO model).  Seems pretty basic.  I thought that the hammer 
and key sensors would generate some type of special midi data, but I 
guess that they work together to produce the basic note midi data 
during recording.
