Can you use all the sounds / voices from hardware synths like the Motifes in sequencers like Digital Performer? I am so new to this so bare with me. I know you can play general midi from a synth in a recording sequencer, but that was a long time ago for me. Plus, can you use the Motifes to control soft synths and plug ins? Thanx
Or does everyone recommend just getting a midi controller keyboard like the ones from m-audio and use plug ins for the sounds? all help is appreciated a lot. |

first.... lets make sure you understand that midi carries no audio signals
 that being said... the only way you can get the motif sounds into DP is to... well run audio ouputs of the motif or use MLAN into your computer or audio interface and record an actual audio track of the synth as you control it live or by sending it a midi track to control it. so not sure of what you are trying to achieve really but it sounds like you are only dealing with midi and if this is the case... you need sound module plugins in DP like soft synths or samplers to get sound into DP from midi off the motif.

i have a motif es with an mlan card and digital performer 4.5
this is an incredible combo the motif es is a one of a kind... i suggest you go to some other sites that are more specific to digital performer and the motif and start learning about mlan www.osxaudio.com anything osx and music but has a fantastic DP forum www.mlancentral.com www.motifator.com www.01xray.com (for the 01X and mlan and anything that connects it is a fantastic site even though u might think it is 01X only it is excellent) frequent those site and grab the info there and you will be learning alot things u can do with a motif es and an mlan card and DP the motif becomes your audio midi interface to your daw using the motif AD inputs Use the Motif ES as a control surface for your DAW... sliders move the software sliders etc in real time in DP use DP's effects when recoding straight to the Computer Use the Motif's effect AFTER you recorded a track on your computer! lots more go to mlancentral.com and watch the video on mlan and be blown away This post has been edited by shaneblyth: Tue 11 Jan 2005, 07:31 |
