Re: DTxpress II sequencer record from MIDI in won't save PC's...

2003-03-20 by Ronald Rael Harvest

There are no missing drums.  I'm muting all the drum parts.  I don't
care about the drum track. I want to play along with this song myself.
 The 6 melodic channels from the MIDI sequence I'm trying to feed from
my computer into the DTX2's sequencer and store it in one of the user
songs are not getting the *program changes* associated with those
channels saved into the song area, even though those program changes
*are* arriving at the module.  

Instead of sounding like an organ, a guitar, a bass guitar and an oboe
covering the vocal melody, the 6 melodic tracks all sound like pianos.  

I have no idea what's going on with the drum track, I haven't checked
and don't care.  

I'm trying to load The Doors' "Break On Through" into use song 96 on
my DTX2 module, so I can practice playing along with it even when my
computer isn't connected, and so I can change the rhythm of it without
leaving my drum throne.

I'm honestly not sure why everyone keeps misunderstanding the issue
I'm describing.  I really thought I was being quite descriptive of it.
