Title: Drum Track and sequencer play same time
Post by: ctank909 on September 18, 2015, 08:35:35 am

Hello, I have this setup where BSP(Beat Step Pro) is connected to computer with USB, and Midi Out from it to Synth.

Now (same thing with all DAW:s), When I use VST at drum track (sequence VST Drums via BSP), and use Seq2 to play synth, synth voices are played by drum track and vice versa? To be more clear, DRUM track notes are played with Seq2 notes and vice versa.

 I have different midi channels in Midi Control Center on channels, as well as in DAW and synth.

Hi,
ch 10 for drums, ch 1 and 2 for the 2 melodic sequencers? looks like a mismatch between your channel settings on MCC and your DAW

Hi
Just incase you have not tried this

press the CHAN  button on the BSP  and  make sure that the correct midi channels are selected

when I press it on mine  number 1  step button flashes RED & GREEN  ( seq 1 & Control  midi channel 1 )

Number 2 step flashes YELLOW   (seq 2 midi channel 2 )

Number 10 step flashes  PURPLE   seq 3 drum  midi channel 10 )

Just saying

Cheers
kev

I don't think thats the problem, problem comes with VST drums, when I listen to Sequencer(synth), I can hear it playing same time VST drums (when the drums are MUTE:d, so there is actual drum track playing, and other drums on same keys than synth).

Even though all setup should be correctly, I use Logic and Battery for testing purposes.

ps. Why the control track has to be same track than sequencer 1, turbo_kev?

It's the defaut setting but you can change it.
In daw you must configure the track to listen to one device, the bsp, and to one midi channel, not omni or all.

Yes, I been trying to do just that, but not succesfully in Cubase/Logic.

So, can someone please give advice, how to setup BSP in sequencer next way:

SEQ1=Chan 2
SEQ2=Chan 5
DRUM=Chan 10

3 VST instruments in computer sequencer, and route their midi to corresponding channels.

So, I want to play BSP, while computer shows BSP channels on different VST MIDI tracks. Lets say I press record on computer seq, Then BSP channels are recorded to 3 different VST MIDI tracks.


EDIT! Ok problem is solved, when I watched tutorials
