RM!x users///need help

[mindgame]

also to add/ask...i dont know if im wasting my time with teh way im setting it up now...
im only using reason because it has a bunch of decent effects and units in it...

i also tried using battery as a VST directly in cubase..but as far as doing a live pa battery seems to make it harder..

im supposed to get my hands on a copy og logic and LIVE for my mac and then switch over to my mac..

do you think i would just be better waiting for that then straining my brain this way? id like to do a live pa ...and the RM1x is supposed to be great for em and i hear works well with live..

im not sure how live works...if you load the samples into live direct like a sampler..if it has effects like vsts...

opinion? if you have one.

Well, its hard to pin down your problem not being there. My best guess is that either cubase is sending all midi data it recieves on ALL midi channels to MIDI channel 2 ..

have you tried the other midi channels? what happens with midi chn 3?

is there a MIDI routing preference panel on the ALESIS?

I really do think this is a cubase issue.

Im a live and logic user, live is extremely good at handling MIDI channels for live performance. I have owned two RM1X boxes and have a lot of respect for the MIDI timing on them. real tight.

It might be better to try ableton live out in demo mode before you go buying it, just to see what happens.

Reason is capable of running as a slave using MIDIclock have you tried that.

i agree and think its a cubase thing...
my sound card master control is very imited..not much regarding midi routing..
for some reason i also think it has to do with the fact that im using the same
keys/chords? (c1 c#) for each track..but i kinda have to because thats what is auto assigned to each section of the redrum..you cant seem to change the root key in redrum...

say im using c1 as the root key on track one for the first redrum...
then i open another redrum for track 2...but the 2nd redrum also starts with the root key of c1..and i have to start with c1 on track 2 as well as track 1..
for some reason i think this is causing both track 1 and 2 to trigger anything that has the root ke of c1..

ive been reading reasons not the best for live...
i was hoping maybe battery but that seems to be a pain in the ass..plus i dont have any effects to use with it if i use battery stand alone..

maybe ill just wait until i get a copy of LIVE...

I have to be honest here. Im struggling to understand what you mean.

In the nicest possible way because i dontknow if its me or you who is having trouble.

i kinda know what you mean, but without seeing it im not sure.

can you take screen shots and post them?
