Record pad input in to BitWig Studio

[turbo_kev]

Hi all

I have asked this questions a few times in the past but still I have no answer
so I left it for a while and now I am asking again in case  any body now has an answer

I want to be able to  tap the pads and here the drums and as I am tapping the pads
I want bitwig to record the midi from the pads

I have enabled send midi from pads in preferences
and although I hear the drums nothing is recorded

if I make a second audio track and set its input from spark, then I do get a recording, but I want the mid recorded not the sound sample

I have played about in spark settings and tried everything I can think of, but I canīt get it to work

if I set the track input to my midi keyboard  then everything works, I just donīt understand
why when using the spark le controller nothing is recorded

cheers

Hi Kev hope your well . As you know i don't use bitwig but have you tried a second midi track with input set from spark .as this is the method for ableton if i recall.

Hi Terrym,  iīm melting in the summer heat in Spain at the moment pheeewww

cheers for that, yes indeed it does now work.

But can you explain to me why, If I use my bs1 or bs pro to play sparkle
then all I do is put spark on the track and set bs1 or bs pro as input and it all works just like a normal
vst instrument

whats different about the spark LE controller that stops the midi going to the track when I tap the pads
is this a design fault or something that helps

its had me stumped for ages, and although your way works, its a pain on workflow to have to
make 2 tracks for one vst

cheers again for your help
