Hello Friends!
I have struggled with connecting my Alesis SR18 to Cubase 7 via midi for about two weeks now and need some help if some can help me. I will give the list of my gear:
Hardware
PC - Dell Precision M6400 12GB ram - 4 cores - 2TB recording drive - (no problems here)
Zoom R16 - latest update
Alesis SR18 - latest update
Midi to USB cable
Software
Cubase 7 - Communications perfectly with Zoom R16
Midi-Ox - Them three pretty lights (midi / in / out) flash on the midi to usb cable when this software is running
Setup
The R16 is connected via usb to my PC. SR18 is connect via USB through the midi cable to PC. Audio outputs from SR18 go into Channel 2 and 3 on R16. I am able to record SR18 through input channels on R16 into Cubase 7. I am able to use the R16 as a control surface.
What I want to do / or are the following ideas possible:
1) Instantly match tempo between SR18 and Cubase 7.
2) Have the SR18 start and stop the recording process in Cubase 7.
3) Have Cubase 7 start and stop the SR18
3) Program drums in Cubase 7 so as to trigger SR18.
4) Use SR18 as control surface to program drums in Cubase 7
This question could also be in the cubase forum, but I thought I would start here.
Thanks for your time, I look forward to your response.
Chris
