Hi every body!!!!

The following information might be of great help for many people in this
group as it was for me.

I came accross this little boxes that addresses many midi situations our
equipment is not capable of doing.

The event processor and event processor plus can make all your midi
equipment do things never thought posible. The list is too large to write,
just go to     http://music.ashbysolutions.com/     to check it out, even
though you can go to the company site (www.midisolutions) , the best deal I
found is with the ashby site with free shipping.

Bruce Wahler have written a guide with midi situations examples to show its
capabilities, it is very impressing, specially the many things you can make
your midi equipment do.

I sent for the Event Processor Plus ($150.00) for the following main
aplications on my midi equipment:

1. to choose fixed velocity values on all the pads of my Yamaha DD-55, since
one pad is almost non responsive and the other 6 have diferent action. I'll
rather have a WORKABLE fixed velocity response on ALL pads with a normal
stick hit and not hard banging the pads to TRY to get a uniform sound and
eventually damaging the unit.

2. mapping the 6 channels of my Yamaha EZ-AG midi guitar to one channel, so
I can use it to drive one channel of my various sound generators, instead of
all 6 channels. This also helps me when changing sounds, only have to change
it on one channel.

3. mapping the midi pedal controller Bherringer FCB 1010 to send any midi
message I want at will. I have midi equipment with functions I rather
controll from the foot controller, like the 4 pattern variations that start
with a fill pattern on my PSR 740, the 2 intros and the 2 endings, they use
NRPN and no pedal controller to do that.

With this box I can turn any midi message from my footpedal (midi note,
etc..) to a NRPN and trigger the patterns on my keyboard, since I'm a guitar
player this is a must!!! If the PSR 740 is able to receive this information
through the midi in, I'll be in heaven!!!!

4. to filter out any midi message or messages I choose not to send to the
rest of the chain, so I don't activate undesired midi events.

The Event Processor and the EPPlus have a computer software to program it
using a midi out from your computer or making a midi file you can play
through the box.


I also ordered  the Quadra Through (one midi in/4 midi outs) to mainly sync
1 unit to 4 , making this 5 units in sync mixing the audio out of each into
a multitrack recorder, I have the Yamaha AW16G . Once I have the tracks
recorded,  the mixdown and finishing touches. The beauty of midi in sync is
that you can replay everything and record any part you want and it will
always keep it in sync.

I can also use the midi out of the AW16G to sync 4 units and I can choose to
record any of them or all at once.

The best thing of the Quadra Through is the price less than $50.

The units are very small and don't require external power sources.

By the way, I'm not afilliated to this store or products, I'm just a midi
musician that found a product that will expand my creativity with my midi
gear.

Hope it is of help!!!!!
