Connecting Drum machine, keyboard, recorder via MIDI

[Leffield]

(no response in MIDI forum)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've got a Boss DR 770 (drum machine), Triton Pro keyboard and Yamaha AW16G digital recorder/mixer. I want to lay my drum sequences in the 770, the rest of the composition in my Triton, then combine it all on the AW16G. How can I connect the three via MIDI (and audio) simultaneously?

Also, what about if I wanted to build the track as I went along (instead of completing the individual parts in their entirety then dropping them to the AW16G? How could I get it so I could drop the triton sequence to the AW16g, for example, then hear that playing back while I experimented with the drums over top of it? (I know I could do it in straight audio, but do the MIDI connections need to configured differently from the first scenario I asked about in order to record directly to the AW16g with the drum machine, then edit parts as needed-- using the onboard editing tools of the AW16G)

I appreciate any feedback-

Leffield,

Sorry I can not help you directly but you might want to try the Yamaha AW16G user forum http://forum.aw16g.com/

There isa dedicated group of AW16Ger's over there that should be able and more than willing to help.

Don't think the aw16g forum will help (nice suggestion though).

Lef I've done quite a bit with this since we last corresponded on the topic. You'd want one of those MIDI interface boxes that takes a MIDI in and gives multiple outs, with the Yammie set as Master and the other two as slaves, you can start them both simultaneously. Eight audio inputs on the Yammie - might not be enough if you use every single audio output from the 770 and the Korg, but should be plenty.

You're second question just sounded like how to overdub on the AW16, which is all you'd be doing.
