I just bought a Firepod using the Cubase LE and I'm trying to get a BOSS DR5 drum machine to Start/Stop using MIDI. I've set the Firepod as the output and the DR5 as the receiver, set the MIDI on the DR5, checked the channels, etc. it ain't work'in. I need some help!! It seems this would be an easy task?

The rain never seems to stop,and the humidity is at an all time high here in the southwestern part of Texas!
We never----ever get this much rainand Im here to tell you-----the gear in my home studio is acting mighty strange!
Is it time for a de-humidifier?anyone? :x

Hey All,

Quick Noobie question.

Just hooked up my old Roland XP-80 synth to my new Firebox interface. Using the included Cubase LE software. I can't seem to record midi correctly. It won't record like it sounds. For example, my synth baseline sounds like a piano. I assume it is a midi mapping problem?

I'm going to purchase a new module. I'll be using ddrum triggers on an acoustic kit, and going via midi into pro tools. I'm not sure if there is latency on these machines, but I want it to be as accurate as possible. I don't need any onboard sounds. That being said, which module would be the best, if any of these, and why.

Hi,

Does anybody record with a laptop?

If so, I have an E-MU 1616 unit that came with MIDI cables. The keyboard I am running is a Yamaha Motif 6.

Anyways, maybe I don't understand MIDI recording but my program, Sound Forge 6, does not read any signal from the E-MU using a MIDI connection. I get a signal from the headphone jack OUT on the keyboard, but it is very quieted.

Okay -

So I'm pretty darned acquainted with good ole fashioned mixing consoles and outboard gear. I even know my way around a good DAW. But one thing I'm absolutely stupid about is MIDI. I used it back in the day when I was in college to write stuff into Finale, but that's about it.

Hi, this is probably a "schoolboy" mistake and something that i just havent picked up yet (still new to all of this!).

i have my primitve DAW setup like this-

-MIDI OUT from keyboard to MIDI IN of Tascam Us-122 interface.
-Line Out (L+R) from Tascam into monitor amp.
-USB from Tascam to computer USB port.

ok- i heard one of the veteran posters on here say that you should always chose your software first and then the platform will find itself. i think this makes sense so i am trying to decide which software would best suite my needs.

I just added another sound module to my setup(Korg NS5R). It has 15 different banks. I can get Cubase to get into the first 3, in the inspector, but beyond that I can't. The Cubase manuals have nothing on MSB/LSB banks. Or at least I haven't seen it.

I've tried to setup a Midi Device in the "Midi Device Manager", but I can't get it to work.
