I was recording a really talented piano player/singer the other day and he says, "hey, can you also record the MIDI out?" "no problemo" I say. I hook a MIDI cable into the back of my MOTU 828mk3 and his keyboard, set up the MIDI track in Sonar and not only get the stereo analog signal but also the MIDI recording.
I'm sort of new to MIDI so I've been messing around with what you can do with the track but it has led to some questions,that I'm sure are basic but still been frustrating me.
I can assign the output of the MIDI track to my Yamaha S03 Keyboard and have it play any of the instruments on the keyboard and it plays back beautifully. But when I try to assign a virtual intrument to the track, it seems to only be able to play about 50% of the notes. Is this a MIDI issue, an issue of latency in the audio chain or something completely different?
The isntruments I've been messing with are all various freeby VST instruments.
BTW, I use a MOTU 828mk3 as my interface for MIDI and Analog via firewire into my PC.
