Thanks.....well so I'm not really stuck with just the ROM sounds that the mp-7 uses if I do that right? That's what I want to know because that would be really limiting, I don't really want to spend $200+ on roms. Also will I need a mixer to use with these two hardware?1005 said:well, obvisously you have to transfer the samples into 5000 via SCSI or discs. Then you will set each sample into a different midi track and then through MP midiout's you will sequence those samples.
that's the short version.
1005 said:If i remember correctly, you could actually burn your own ROM's with the E-mu E-4X? And you could use that ROM in any command stations.
And there was that Emu keyboard that could hold Emu rom's plus it could sample, too bad it didn't have a sequencer... i guess it was mad expensive cos i haven't seen many of those around, even the rack E-4 was like 5000€ back a few years ago..

ROMIL said:I am trying to send a recorded song from the mp-7 out to pro tools and everytime I try to mute out tracks to send one track at a time I hit record in pro tools and the whole song plays on one track in pro tools. now when I send a pattern out the same way it works fine.Im able to record one or two trax at a time. is their something im doing wrong?
youngjboy said:I use to do it that way to. It is easier to just go into pattern mode, sequence your beat, and then use song mode. It is way easier to program the track mutes with song mode instead of manually pressing the track mutes on the fly.
Just lay down your 4 or 8 bar loop or whatever and then when you are in song mode, use the same pattern for the song, but every few measures of whatever you want, you can hit the button for track mute to activate, or deactivate that part for the song.
Then what i do is, mix it down within the command station, and record the output with cubase as a stereo wav file. This is the easy way to me unless you are trying to record each track as it own in protools. If that is the case, record each track as a 4 or 8 bar and then use protools to clip your track mutes in

ROMIL said:As far as on tha mp-7 I lay my trax down tha same way u do. but what im trying to figure out is when I trying to record the song in pro tools. like I tried to record two trax at a time so I had to mute out the other trax so they dont get recorded in. and as soon as I hit record on the transport in pro tools the whole song was unmuted on the mp-7. but when I put the mp-7 in pattern mode I can do it that way but then I have to do all this editing instead of just recording the song in tha way I want.

aziam said:I want to ask a similar question...I use the PX-7 and I want to record each track simultaneously into Sonar on individual audio tracks if it's possible. I know I can do it through midi but I don't really think its worth the extra step being that im gonna still need to convert it to audio to make eq/fx adjustments. So is there any equipment/adapters/mixers or whatever that would allow that to happen? It seems like it would make the work so much simpler than having to make all kinds of beat drops and changes within sonar using a mouse.
