|
|
so i have a moog lil phatty...access virus kc....and waldorf micro q.....
i want to be able to perform on each machine and have a sequencer(?) capture what i do and loop it at specified measures.
ive tried an akai mpc-100 for this but it only sends and recieves one midi chhel per track and didnt have the ability to send and recieve from all three machines...
i have researched a few things that might be usfule for my problem...roland mc-909 or 808 .....alesis mmt-8(?)

Hi.
Have you got a PC (or Mac) handy?
There are a couple of ways to do it but all of them would require at least a bit more hardware.
If you want to stay on a hardware based sequencer such as the MMT-8 or MPC, consider a midi merger, which is a box that will merge the midi outs of each keyboard back into one stream.
Alternatively, you could get a PC/Mac based midi interface, perhaps along the lines of something like this device, and use a software sequencer, of which there are many good ones for whichever platform/OS you want.
Either way, what you are asking for ultimately requires merging the midi outputs of each of your keyboards. _________________ Garret: It's so retro.

i would like to stay away from becoming dependant on my mac since it wont be leaving the house (per the bosses orders!).
so a midi merger..set each board to a different channel...cool i get that concept
now would a mc-909 or mmt-8 capture what was being played on each board?
this is where i am confused...i dont want to have to multitrack or step sequence, i want whatever device it is i am looking for to be able to capture my performances and loop it.........
does it exist? |

I don't know if the MMT-8 can capture multichannel, I think it can. I know there are hardware sequencers that do, but check the manual. _________________ Garret: It's so retro.
