![]() In last month's column I started to look at Digital Performer 's Consoles, and showed how to set up a Console that redirected MIDI Controller 1 data (from a synth's mod wheel) to the centre-frequency parameter of the Multimode Filter plug-in. This Control Assignment dialogue box configures a Console slider to send MIDI continuous controller 91 data to a JV1080.įancy turning your knob-laden MIDI synth into a control surface for tweaking plug-in synths? DP 's Consoles make this kind of application possible. This is the best (intuitive) feature in Digital Performer. I hope you are seeing the flexibility of this arrangement. The two tracks can be merged later if you want, but it will be just as if you were recording one track with multiple controllers. If you need to do Multi-Record with many controllers on many instruments, but YOUR instrument requires two controllers, you record them to two different tracks, assigned the same output. With Multi-Record, each of these instruments would be controlling different tracks. So, I can record with my WX5 MIDI Wind Instrument while operating my Roland FC300 pedal board, and/or using the pedals or keys or faders or whatever from my Kurzweil 2600 - all in the same track at the same time. If I'm recording in one track, without Multi-Record, all MIDI controllers will record to that track simultaneously. If Multi-Record is not selected, then one controller records any track, one at a time, and the inputs of each track are dormant, defaulting to whatever controller you happen to be using. At that point, all the MIDI Inputs become available to assign to different instruments. In order that DP knows what you're doing, you select Multi-Record before you do this. Instead, you just assign controllers to MIDI inputs. ![]() It's as simple as assigning those MIDI outputs to their instruments. You can record them all at once, if you've got enough hands on deck to man the controllers. Yes, you can assign a different controller to every track if you like. ![]() If you didn't know the instrument was virtual, you wouldn't know there was any difference between it and your Roland. It's exactly the same as using external rack gear. We generally like our arrangement better, because it gives us more flexibility without any fuss. This differs from Logic, where these three tracks (Instrument, MIDI, and Audio) are joined at the hip as one track in the Arrange Window. It represents something real, but more as a place-holder. An Aux is to an audio track something like a bus is to an input or output. We have MIDI tracks that can be assigned to any of those instruments, or you can assign many tracks to the same instrument.Įach instrument outputs to an audio track or Aux, which mimics an audio track, but doesn't record audio data directly. We even have a place for them (though not required) called "V-Racks" where you can place instruments and they act just like external rack gear. I could assign the Roland TD3 electric drum kit to a certain instrument and assign a keyboard to another track with a different instrument whether hardware or software. Ideally I would just select a specific MIDI in port per instrument. Or do you have to set each MIDI controller to different MIDI channels or something? So that you simply have specific MIDI in port addressing a specific software instrument instance or MIDI hardware output port.

I want to ba able to sequence my MIDI hardwae from my MPC and from the computer with the same MIDI interface at the same time. It asks if it is possible to route MPC MIDI outs with the MOTU MTP AV while simultaneously sequencing MIDI instruments in a software sequencer. I started another thread on this forum which I just registered to today. Mostly synced to an MPC playing drums and linearly recording MIDI keyboard sounds on top and audio tracks. I want to use a MIDI sequencer in a very simple fashion. ![]() I was told years ago that you can do this in Digital Performer. Or maybe you can in a newer version that I haven't kept up to date with. I imagine being able to select the MIDI interface IN port on each track individually. I want to be able to record multiple MIDI instrument players on their own track easily.
