Setting up a BUS for MIDI?
Greetings, can't find an answer in my searches so here goes. I have a Roland XP-80 setup with a Command 8 and 003 Rack. Using PT LE 7.3. I can record MIDI just fine using an AUX track but I guess I'm not understanding setting up a BUS. I can set up a BUS on an audio track but cannot find out how to do this with a MIDI track. My goal being able to use plug-ins such as reverb etc to tweek the MIDI track. I'm using the Roland XP-80 patches for sound and not an installed plug-in. Is this even possible? What am I missing? Thanks

Re: Setting up a BUS for MIDI?
Either insert the plugins directly on the aux channel the ext MIDI instrument comes in on, or buss the audio via a send to another aux if you want to share the effect with their instruments.

Re: Setting up a BUS for MIDI?
Greetings Sardi, thank you for the response. I am new to using a BUS so please excuse my ignorance here. What I want to do is this.... I have my XP-80 set up to supply a BASS guitar to a track using its internal sound for the bass. For that track I have a AUX track set up in which I can apply effects. Now I want to supply a piano, using the internal sounds from the XP-80 on another track. What would be the best way to accomplish this? If I am using the same effects for the piano as the bass guitar, do I need to set up some type of bus? What would be the best way to do this? Thank you again.

Re: Setting up a BUS for MIDI?
If my memory serves me correct, the XP-80 has dual stereo outputs.
So, route the bass patch to one set of outputs and the piano to another set. Then, either create 2 x Aux & MIDI tracks or even simpler, 2 x Instrument tracks which are a combination of Aux & MIDI on the same track/channel. Then, just apply the effects directly as inserts on each channel. Or if you want to use an existing reverb(for example) that you're already using as a send effect in your session, feed the signal from the XP-80 channel to the Reverb channel using an Aux send. |

Once you've recorded the audio of your bass or piano part, then you can use any bus or insert you wish on the audio track to process the sound.

Digi 003 basic Midi setup
So ive plugged my MIDI cables in to my 003 Rack, gone to my PT12 and opened up MIDI Studio and my MicroKorg is not coming up as a selection.
My question is 1. Which channel is MIDI assigned to in an 003 rack (Ive been told its one and line/DI is selected but isnt working in PT12) ? 2. Do you have suggestions on cool drum plug ins? 3. Do you think this is a PT12 step im missing or do i need a midi driver for 003 rack? |
