Recording into the EPS-16 PLUS Sequencer from a MIDI Controller
On many occasions, you may find it convenient to use an external controller to
record a track into the EPS-16 PLUS' internal sequencer. This could be for
added authenticity (recording from Drum Pads to get a "live drummer" feel),
flexibility (recording from an 88-note keyboard controller), or ease of use (you're
a guitarist recording from a guitar controller). No matter which type of MIDI
controller you use, there are a few parameters that need to be set in order to record
into the sequencer.
Recording Into a Single Track (One MIDI Channel)
• Connect a MIDI cable from the MIDI Out of the controller to the MIDI In of the
EPS-16 PLUS.
• Set the MIDI IN MODE to POLY on the EDIT/Systerm•MIDI page of the
EPS-16 PLUS. The MIDI controller should be in POLY mode as well.
• Set the EPS-16 PLUS MIDI BASE CHANNEL to the same MIDI channel as
that which is being transmitted by the MIDI controller.
• Select the track you want to record on by pressing the appropriate
Instrument•Track button on the EPS-16 PLUS, and make sure its MIDI
STATUS is set to BOTH, LOCAL, or MIDI.
• On the EDIT/Seq•Song page, set the RECORD SOURCE parameter to BOTH
or MIDI.
Recording proceeds normally from this point
Recording Into Several Tracks (Multiple MIDI Channels)
• Connect a MIDI cable from the MIDI Out of the controller to the MIDI In of the
EPS-16 PLUS.
• Set the MIDI IN MODE to MULTI on the EDIT/System•MIDI page of the
- EPS-16 PLUS.
• Set the MIDI controller to either MONO B (for guitar controllers sending on
individual strings) or MULTI (for transferring data from another sequencer).
Consult the controllers manual for details.
• Set the individual MULTI IN MIDI CHANNEL (found on the EDIT/Track
page) for each track, matching MIDI channels with those that will be sent from
the controller.
• Make sure all the tracks you want to record on have their MIDI STATUS set to
BOTH, LOCAL, or MIDI.
• On the EDIT/Seq•Song page, set the RECORD SOURCE parameter to MULTI.
Once these parameters are set, you can begin recording. For more information on
recording in MULTI, see Section 8—Sequencer Basics.
