[xl7] Re: std midi file question

2003-07-29 by Oscar Finch

OK Dana this is THE EASIEST solution by far !!!!!!!!!!Take your DX200 / EA-1 and ER1 SEPERATELY - you must do this one at a time ok.For DX200.Set MP/XL-7 UP as Master DX200 as slave (same settings for both the EA-1 and ER-1) later when needed.)Set midi out XL_7 to midi in DX200 and midi out DX200 to midi in XL-7.OK still with me.Set up a fresh pattern in the XL-7 with blamk tracks.Make sure the DX200 - has its parts assigned to the appropriate midi channels for XL-7 track / channel assignment.Hit record then play on the XL-7 - the DX will slave and shunt/play all it's sequencer data into the XL-7's.This procedure can be repeated for the EA-1 and ER-1, the EA-1 will have to be set to record on 2 midi channel for the 2 synth parts.The ER-1 drives of a single midi channel. I am assuming the DX2000 is 3 part ? ie: drums , awm2 bass voice bank and FM synthesis.I used to do this all the time with my ER-1 / ES-1 and the RS7000.Then go into to edit mode and edit note on velocity etc
  etc which the two units where lacking.I don't own an MP-7 YET (will do in two more weeks) :pSo I'm not to sure how the Command Stations handle NRPRN's . If you have any motion sequences embedded into the Electribe units they may not be recorded if the EMU unit does not respond to standard NRPN control.Hope that helps you some.--- On Mon 07/28, dwoodaman < dwoodaman@... > wrote:From: dwoodaman [mailto: dwoodaman@...]To: xl7@yahoogroups.comDate: Mon, 28 Jul 2003 19:42:07 -0000Subject: [xl7] Re: std midi file questionOh - like someone once said, that's different! Here is what I was trying to say:I use an EA1, ER1 and DX200 to come up with patterns using their internal sequencers, which are cool but limited. So what I was hoping to do was dump the sequences from these boxes into a standard midi file, mess with them [especially the DX which only has 16 notes per sequence], and combine them with the standard midi file that I write from using the internal sequenc
 er on the XL7. At that point, I want to dump the whole thing back into the XL7, and use it to control the other boxes. The XL is then the master sequencer when I want to go live.OR - are you saying I have to create the external gears sequences using the XL7's sequencer?thanks again and sorry if I am being slow here.Dana--- In xl7@yahoogroups.com, Aaron Eppolito wrote:> --- dwoodaman wrote:> > What a drag, I was hoping to get around the limitations of my > > DX200's crappy sequencer by dumping a file into the xl.> > Wait, I'm not quite sure I understand how this fits in with your> original question.
