Re: Track Destination and MIDI on off. Controlling external gear.

2004-03-04 by drewaight

This is where your disconnect is. TRACKS have "int" and "ext"
destinations, CHANNELS do not. Tracks are assigned to channels, not
the other way around.

Ah ha. So that means if I record on TRACK 1 assigned to MIDI 
CHANNEL_01 with TRACK_05 = "ext" rechannel = "off" but MIDI_C05 = "on"

Then the playback of that TRACK should be on the external device only?
