Or if I use any other software that let's me monitor MIDI messagesĬoming from your APC40 (MAX or MIDIOX for example.) go into Translator Edit Mode (Ctrl-e OR Right-Click on the Translator) 'I especially need to set all buttons to momentary button'īut I think you might be confusing what the APC actually sends and what is Ableton default behavior. This is far more flexible than any setup that relies on multiple pass thru boxes to get the job done.I don't understand exactly what you mean with: This means that the number of song setups I can store and recall is pretty much unlimited. The set of 64 performance voices can be saved off as a "performance file" - and recalled as needed. The CP300 has 64 performance voices on the the board at any one time (4 banks of 16). Playing the CP300 controls 1 voice within the Motif ES Rack - while playing the RD700SX controls a different voice within the Motif ES RackI use my CP300 as my central controller - so that one button push sends Program Change commands to the RD700SX and the Motif ES Rack (as well as it self) - meaning that one button push sets up the whole rig for any song. Playing the RD700SX controls the synth engine of the Motif ES Rack while the CP300 plays alone Playing the CP300 controls the synth engine of the Motif ES Rack while the RD700SX plays alone Playing the RD700SX controls the synth engine in both the CP300 and the Motif ES Rack Playing the CP300 controls the synth engine in both the RD700SX and the Motif ES Rack This gives me total flexibility - mean that sometimes: My patches are set with MIDI in mind - meaning that I ensure that the patch/voice settings on each device are set to listen/talk on a specific MIDI channel. The Motu MIDI Express XT is configured so that all physical ports see all MIDI communications. There's a MIDI IN and MIDI OUT connection to/from both the CP300 and the RD700SX and a MIDI IN connection to the Motif ES Rack Unit. All MIDI communications flow through my Motu MIDI Express XT. My rig consists of a CP300, an RD700SX and a Motif ES Rack unit. I do however used MIDI pretty effectively in my rig and do stuff that I couldn't do with pass thru boxes without having to repatch stuff. I don't use sequencers - so I don't have any experience working with them.
These can be had pretty cheap and are programable via the front panel. If you want/need a midi patchbay and don't want to deal with a computer to program it like the Motu XT look into a Edirol UM-550 or UM-880 or a Ensoniq KMX-8 or KMX-16. I use software (ProTools) for audio because it's faster for editing but, for quick, dependable and tight timing sequencing hardware is the way to go for me. If you think some midi cables and four midi thru boxes is trouble waiting to happen then you haven't struggled for hours with computer problems and lose your inspration. The MPC sequences all of my hardware and even the softsynths via Xlutop Chainer. After finally getting sick of later versions of Cubase' that had sloppy midi timing I bought a MPC for sequencing and have never looked back. This was fine until I wanted to utilze LTB with Cubase so I switched to the Midex 8. I finally switched to a parallel Motu XT which was cool and then upgraded my computer and replaced it with a usb XT. I upgraded to the 128X which did the same thing.
I exchanged it at Mars a couple of times and they all did the same thing.

My computer would "lose" the drivers all the time for the Opcode 64X I was using. I remember when I first started using computers to sequence. To many things to go wrong with passive setups?

If a complex MIDI configuration is truly what's needed - get an active MIDI interface (MOTU MIDI Express or MIDI Express XT come to mind) and channelize your MIDI configurations in the patch settings.
