Subject: help hookin-up midi
Original Message Date: 22-Mar-04 @ 12:17 AM - help hookin-up midi
I just bought a lap-top from my friend for cheap, ive always wanted to use one as a dedicated stand alone for synths, sampler etc.
I bought a firewire 410 for it, and now id like to sequence with it as well as with my other units. My problems is im not very good at midi. Here is a run down of my gear, id like to sequence with my mc-505 as the host "clock send" and have the rest just clock up, but not be receiving note signals. Using my s/w sequencer as a realtime recorder.
What should i set these to and how should i hook this up so it all works correctly?
Gear:
mc-505 (host clock)
firewire410 / laptop (synths+ sampler)
Q-rack Triggered by(pcr-30)
Indigo-C
SN2
digi001(pro-tools le)
midiman 4x4
psy and k...you helped me a lot on my last issue just wanted to thank you.

I re-routed the midi through the usb as you suggested. Its working good.
I have the out from the midi-man going to all the ins of the SN,Q,Indigo-c,and lappy where reason and some s/w synths are.
I have them all on auto..receiving clock. I am using one of my electribes as a sequencer to help me get my tracks rock solid when i use the synths.(i havent figured out how to work midi within PT yet, as well as my update voids the use of midi (asio-for 5.3.2) until i get 6.1). For the most part it is working good. I am still learning the workings of the comp. sequencer. Some tracks begin to train wreck when they arent aligned properly but thats all part of the learning curve. I have been reading a few PTs book i picked up from barnes and nobles. Its been helping me understand how to cut the tracks and snap em together so everything sounds right. I have been using the shuffle feature which snaps them together right at the seams. When i ajdust the tempo to whole notes..understand that i have no idea what that is other then im experimenting. But it splits the "grid" in grid feature up into a whole bunch of segments. I like this because I can align my tracks easier...but when I press play on the sequencer all my midi equipment blinks at 1000 beats a minute.. i dunno. As for you help.. Its been what ive been using. I thank all of you guys. Midis working great, im having fun, just need to learn a little bit more..and I can send out some tracks finally. Thanks for your concerns.
