Re: std midi file question

2003-07-29 by dwoodaman

Indeed that does sound like the easiest solution, which I am going to 
try out as soon as possible. My DX seems to be having some midi 
issues right now, so I will probably try just using the Korg stuff.
Thanks much for the idea!

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

(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.---

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
