I have a box full of these things from the 80's in my loft. Not sure that I want to spend anytime "re-mixing" them or whatever, but, I would like to capture them in a usable format. Digitise them I guess. Is there anyone in London/SE (England not Ontario, or anywhere I could post them too I...

Just to say that this conversation went on over three threads - it does conclude and I did get it working. Look for the thread below in the midi-mania forum for a post which brings this to a conclusion. Using an old Drum machine (Alessis SR-16) as a midi-sequencer driven drum module

I tried it with Cubase and it worked, I nearly fell off my chair. But, I haven't used Cubase before and found it a strange and alien place and I didn't like the sequencer much. I'm sure it's fine, and I guess I could convert, but, I've invested quite a lot of time in Kenny Gioia's Reaper...

Maybe this is it, Reaper Forum thread I haven't been able to post there myself yet as I had to wait a few days for my account to be validated. Now it is I'll ask there. First call is to download Reaper latest version, I'm on 6:35 or something and they are up to 6:43 or thereabouts (on the...

They are new cables from Thomann, I have 5 so at least two of them should be working! I'm thinking that maybe the problem is in Reaper and perhaps I'm just not sending anything (although I can see the VU moving in Reaper). The midi in LED on the Interface only lights up when I send click...

Actually, there's another approach angle approach too. My son (he's the piano player) has Cubase on the same PC, perhaps it's worth a try with that. If that works at least it will establish "proof of concept".

Thanks. I do have access to a Clavinova (and a NORD, though that is in another room) both have three DIN midi-sockets, an in an out and a thru. If the midi/DIN to USB cable I'll get tomorrow doesn't help I'll try with the Clavinova. @spantini , I have a few cables, I've tried different ones. I...

Thanks @vox, that's a useful analogy. Ok, well, the midi cable comes tomorrow, I may as well try that, even if Reaper still doesn't "see" the SR16 perhaps a more direct line will be easier to get working.

Thanks for the encouragement Steve. I'm, still trying (see the other threads on here) and others are helping but no success yet. I think, hope, the problem is that Reaper (my DAW) just doesn't see the SR16 (I can only connect it to the PC indirectly via my interface or via my X-Touch), but, I...

Thanks for those suggestions @LazerBeakShiek . I want it to receive. Don't I? I want it to receive the midi signal from the sequencer to play a sound (hopefully the right one at the right time, but, anything would do to get started). I've chosen omni for now so that it should respond to anything...

@spantini and @vox . Thanks for those suggestions. I've think I've covered both those bases. I set up a sequencer drum pattern, well, actually, it just hits every note available once a bar, I can see the VU jumping, and left it running while I twiddled with the SR16 settings. Nothing. The SR16...

@rob aylestone What do you mean by manually edited? If a device shows up in Reaper's midi-device dialogue then you get some choices as to how to configure it for input or output and you can give it a name (alias). Is that what you mean? But, the thing is the SR-16 just isn't showing up at all...

Thanks @rob aylestone that's useful. I have tried using it on a specific channel, but, only half-heartedly, I haven't followed through checking that all the settings in Reaper and the SR16 look right when using a specific channel as I thought my best bet was to keep it "omni" and then when I got...
