Hello, I'm a newbe to this forum, and I'm not extremly literate when it comes to midi, but I figure this is the place with answers. I have my entire system de-cabled, and am ready to install new cableing as I integrate new and used equipment and update my system. and integrate digital into it.Here is the crux of my inquiry.
My system is comprised of (2) Tascam MSR-16trk ATR's, which I have interfaced with a MTS-1000 midiizer. I plan on synching the ATR's with the following items, but I am no expert when it comes to midiizing a large system. I'm trying to found out what goes to what etc Heres a description of the potential items in the midi system:
Midiizer- 2 midi in's, 2 midi outs, and a PPQ out. Sempe from tape machines
Optcode 128 midi interface - 8 midi ins/outs
2 generic keyboards-standard midi ins/outs
Roland TR-626 Rythm composer Standard midi ins/outs-8 analog outs. Some other types of synch outputs/inputs, but I'm not familiar with these.
Tascam TM-D1000 Digital mixer(The tape machines are interfaced with a Studiomaster
20/8/2 analog board.) Do I integrate the DM into the midi system?
Lexicon Studio Core 32 System with LDT-10t (I don't know if this unit is using midi, but
has word clock outs? and other synch ins/outs.
3 FX units with midi ins/outs(How do you get the FX units to change patches with a sequencer?)
Computer with an existing midiman 2 interface/soundblaster(I assume the soundblaster will be replaced by the Studio Core 32 pci card? And does the midiman 2 stay in for the midi interface? Or is it replaced by the Studio 128?
I have lots of software programs, but plan on using Cubase, as the lexicon is designed with this software in mind. However, Sonar may work as well. Any ideas?
I beleive the Studio 128 is like a midi patchbay as well as an interface, but I'm in the dark. I have all the manuals to these items. But none of them really tells how to cable
a system to this extent. I've read midi books, and that has clarified some questions, however theres nothing like expertize. Getting my feet wet on midi as well as digital audio, but I want the analog integrated with it. Any enlightenment is greatly appreciated.
