Dear DP4 users,

I have a roland jv1080 & and MPC2000. I rcently purchased a mac & DP4 to do more audio work, but since I started out with it, I do most of my midi sequencing on the MPC. When it comes time, I dump the entire sequence into DP4 to further manipulate stuff. Here is my issue: anyone who has a roland module knows that all drum parts are all on channel 10. As a result when I record a sequence into DP4 I get all the midi notes channel 10 is emmiting which happen to be my entire drum track. I would like to be able to treat each drum part separatly (i.e a track for the snare, one for the kick etc) and apply effects on individual drum tracks rather than the whole group. Is there any way to separate them once they are in the sequencer?
A more generic version of this question is, Is there any way to separate a midi track into a series of tracks based on the trriggered notes?

The only way round that I can think of is to mute indiviual notes and record say 10 drum tracks one at a time, which would be a pain. (life is supposed to be made easier by computers, right ) smile.gif

Thanks for your help.

Oh yea, one other thing... I had an XP50 which has similar voice architecture as the jv you are using. You can only play back drum patches on channel ten. BUT you can make a new patch and assign a single ( or up to 4 in my case) drum wave to it, and nothing else. All the waves on the XP were available for making user patches and I bet you can do the same on the JV. You need to learn how to create a new patch, or edit an existing one, apply the right kind of envelope to make the sound trigger right and that patch can be used in any channel. You can not have 70 drum sounds across the keyboard as a drum patch, put you can layer 4 waves I bet, as I could. So they could each have a range of notes. I made some like this with 4 variations of a snare drum across one patch, set up like a 4 way split. 2 octaves per wave. I got 24 variations of tuning for each snare and 4 different snare waves in there. I could then tweak away to my hearts content in my sequencer, on any channel to create subltle articulations and variations in the snare sound by triggering different notes in the patch I'd made. Do the same for other drum sounds. Bingo.
