Re: [elektron] Re: recording the locks

2002-10-07 by Rui Peixoto

The main problem about this, is that the MD sends and receives in 4 
different midi channels. To be able to do this you\ufffdd have to be able to 
record 4 simultaneous midi tracks , each receiving it\ufffds own (and only) 
channel. This is a bitch really... The best way to do this is to work all 
your sequences in the MD and record them to audio. At least this is what I\ufffdm 
doing. I tryed to create a system that would let me work  midi based but 
neither cubase nor sonar would let me do it.
The midi delay problem could be rounded. First you \ufffdd record your data to 
the external sequencer, and then when playing back, you\ufffdd have to use a 
blank pattern but with the same kit loaded. This would do the trick.
The 4 midi channel sh*t would be the worst part of it... any ideas?
