Hi guys, I'm wondering if what I'm trying to do is even possible.trying to set up a MIDI track for auto-switching at practice and live. I figured that instead of spending tons of time creating manual markers in a MIDI track in Reaper, I may be able to reverse engineer it and record a MIDI track where I stomp around on the AX8 to record the triggers directly into Reaper. So I did just that, and Reaper does in fact receive a signal from the AX8, but the signal seems to send no info other than a default trigger. In other words, the triggers record all over the place, but they are all set to the same preset (defaulting to 0,0; so very first preset in the bank/preset list.

Is there something I'm missing maybe within Reaper settings-wise that would make it so the trigger I'm recording carries the bank/preset/scene info of the one I'm actually trying to trigger? I appreciate any help I could get on this! Thanks for the tip.

I'll have to play around with Reaper, and someone else pointed out I can assign a particular scene to a PC (From the manual: Every AX8 Scene can send one MIDI Program Change Message (“PC”) on any channel. You can use this feature to change presets on a connected Axe-FX, FX8, or any other MIDI device.) So I think between what you stated and this, that may be enough to work out why currently I'm not being successful in sending triggers with the proper info to the DAW. Re: doing this live, we play to backing tracks with established time and a click, so it should in theory work smoothly.

I have been using midi backing tracks off the internet. I want to know how to make my own. What hardware/software etc is needed? Lets say I heard Allman Brothers 'Midnight Rider' midi file online. Now lets say I didn't like certain parts in the midi file, could I change it and how?

Or, lets say I've been searching for a particular midi file online but can't find it anywhere, what would be the easiest way to just make it myself. Is there any books/video tutorials on this subject? Please help as you can see I'm really confused. Thanks in advance. Almost all recording software now-a-days has MIDI built right in.

I create all of my own MIDI, it is fun to listen to a song and try to piece it together in MIDI. Really makes you hear everything that makes a song. But I am running Pro Tools which might be the most expensive route if you want to do nothing but MIDI. They make software specifically for MIDI, but I for some reason I cannot think of any names off the top of my head. And my head hurts way too much to start searching Google. However, I'm assuming some day you might want to record audio to go along with your MIDI tracks right?

So maybe invest in some lower level audio software. Oh I just thought of a good one, Sony ACID. That has MIDI built in and can record audio, I don't know. Do some searching.

Also to answer your question fully, you would most certainly be able to alter the MIDI files from the internet once you import them into the program. So you can delete Duanes slide guitar part and record your own. I have been using midi backing tracks off the internet. I want to know how to make my own. What hardware/software etc is needed?

Thanks in advance. I can't comment on the capabilities of PC recording software that Nick mentioned, as I use standalone multitrack recorders. Some of those integrated programs may have the ability to edit and/or create MIDI files. Agfa selectronic 3 manual. As far as doing it separately, my experience so far is: 1. Editing MIDI with PC software player/sequencer programs -- I use these only to 'adjust' existing MIDI files, some of which I find on the internet and some of which I create using the sequencer function of my Yamaha PSR home keyboard.

The freeware programs I use are Anvil Studio (Version 2003.12.01, Copyright © 1997-2003 by Willow Software) and PSR MidiPlayer (Version 6.0.1, copyright 2003 Michael P. The Anvil is OK to edit files I find on the internet, the MidiPlayer I use for files created on my Yamaha PSR because Yamaha made MIDIs are a little bit non standard. I use these programs to adjust turn MIDI channels in a file on and off, and to adjust the volume, pan, and instruments in the channels.
