Digi approved software that contains orchestral instruments?

[DarylBham]

Yes, thats exactly what i have... for instance, if i do it with Reason in Pro Tools, and put the NNXT on a seperate MIDI Channel from the NN-19, i can record them at the same time, no problem.... But other Instruments will not work for me

Does all instrument tracks have the same MIDI input assigned?

[DarylBham]

No they do not, all of em have different Channel Assignments, such as:

Instrument Channel 1, Input Midi channel 1 = Output B4 II(Midi Channel 1)
Instrument Channel 2, Input Midi Channel 2 = Output Akoustik Piano(Midi Channel 1)
Instrument Channel 3, Input Midi Channel 3 = Output Pro-53(Midi Channel 1)

or

Everything works perfect if I run Reason 3.0 like this:

Instrument Channel 1, Input Midi channel 1 = Output NN-XT
Instrument Channel 2, Input Midi Channel 2 = Output NN-19
Instrument Channel 3, Input Midi Channel 3 = Output Redrum

Well, how do you play those VI's? Do you have a master keyboard of some kind? I don't understand why you're using different MIDI input channels, unless maybe in conjuction with the MPC?

[DarylBham]

yeah, like it was just in conjunction with the MPC, but i then tried to use them with just the MIDI Keyboard... and i got the same results... in another post, someone said that they have had the same problem for a while and no one has figured it out yet... Thanks alot PTLOVER for your time and help

[Stig Eliassen]

No, no, no...it should definitely not be any unsolved mystery how to record MIDI onto separate tracks. Try to set the MIDI input to "All", and make sure that the MIDI output is routed to the VI on the track. Record-enable the track, and rock hard on the keyboard.

Does it work?

[DarylBham]

Yeah, i can record MIDI with All on, thats no problem, but i cant get my particular instrument sounds on seperate MIDI Channels that im using. Like if i got 4 different VI's up on seperate MIDI Channels, and i swap MIDI Channels on my controller that my MIDI Keybaord or MPC is assigned to, i would get the same VI sound on every MIDI Channel, instead of channel 1 being B4 II Organ, Channel 2 Akoustik Piano, Channel 3 Arturias Mini Moog, and Channel 4 Pro-53... If Pro-53 was the last VI i opened, it and i give it its MIDI settings(Input Midi Channel 4 and Output Pro-53 Channel 1) It will play on all my channels instead of just Channel 4 since thats its input.

But i can record the MIDI notes on the different channels of course, but i wannna hear all my stuff at one time while im structuring the song.

Again though, I can get it to work right when im just using Reason 3.0, I can MIDI out all the Reason Instruments correctly in Reason and play all the different channels find. But whenever i open up other VI's, things just dont work out anymore.

Can this help?

[DarylBham]

Thanks for all of your help PTLover, im going to try that when i get back into my studio later tonight or tomorrow, and ill give yall the verdict... i never did see that post this week, but it was a very interesting thread

[DarylBham]

HEAR YE!!! HEAR YE!!! Many thanks to you PTLover for finding that. I just tested it out and it works, thanks a lot. I been on here day and night trying to figure that out but didnt notice that post in the HD/TDM area about it.
