realtime multi track midi recording

realtime multi track midi recording

O.K. I've only had the G for a couple of weeks, and the answer is probably in the manual somewhere. But it's giving me a headache trying to find it. so here goes...

I want to do a midi multi track song recording using the real time input method. I cannot figure out how to select the track To record to.

For example:

(midi track one; sound: Grand Piano - playing basic chords )
(midi track two; sound: Bass Guitar - riding the root notes )
(midi track three; sound: Violin - playing the melody ) etc...

If anyone has a step by step on how to record a midi song track by track I would much appreciate it.

Thanx

Hello metavox,

Welcome to the Roland Clan.

I have an X6, not a Juno, but the the basic steps are indeed the same.

Record in Performance Mode, not Patch Mode. This is the most common mistake made by new owners. Check page 58 in the manual for how to display the Part/Mixer screen (by pressing Mode). You can then cursor to the Track you want to record.

Once in Performance Mode , select the Track and Patch, and record.

Switch to the next Track and do the same.


That's the basic flow. Check the manual starting on page 87 and give it a go. If a Juno owner wants to pipe in, then you'll get more detail; but this may indeed do it for you.

O.k. so here's what I'm doing now. there has got to be an easier way (well maybe not but what the heck it just seems a bit convoluted)

First pour a drink. ( the bigger the better )

1- Set up blank temporary song per page 87.
2- Select performance mode
3- Select part mixer mode
4- Select patch for midi Ch (4-16 only 1-3 seem to record whatever I am playing no matter what track I select. [/b])
5- Select song
6- Set tempo and set count in measures per page 88
7- Select track ( 4-16 only *see #4 above )
8- Press REC
9- Press PLAY
10- When done select STOP
11- Play back what you just recorded to make sure that your are actually a musician and not just a deluded hack.

So... how do I get tracks on to 1-3 without recording all three simultaneously?

metavox

You're obviously using a Performance that already has layered sounds. So far you're doing it well. YOu should start with a "blank" one. I suggest starting with Performance "SEQ:TEMPLATE" is PRST 002 if I'm not mistaken.
