Hello all,
I have a general question regarding a drum setup, and would appreciate your help.
Ultimately I would like to get my multitrack and drum machine to align in time, so that I can have greater control (and ease) when changing drum beats and such....
I hope this would help me make more varied drum patterns, rather than recording a pattern continually… or manually entering each drum-wave into the track...
I use a Tascam 2488 MKII and an Alesis sr-18. Both seem like good pieces of kit to me, but MIDI seems incredible complicated, possibly even archaic,
There is some advice out there, but it doesn’t seem to work - I believe I have now exhausted all possibilities, and am in the no-mands-land between two products' customer support...
I wonder if you could give some advice?
I know that the 2488 MKII does import SMF files; perhaps if I create a SMF file, this could act as a template, so that the two machines could integrate?
Your advice would be very much appreciated.
On a side note, I would highly recommend the 2488 MKII, much more so than its rivals (eg, the zoom 16HD, which I have extensively tested).
Thanks
David
