[ddots-l] Re: midi mapper

Hi,

I'm still a babe in the woods with all of this midi stuff. I've gotten the instrument definition file for my motif es 8 and so now I can find and select a patch. So, I have feedback and the computer and motif seem to be able to communicate. I am still wondering, though, how to convert the midi tracks into audio. Do I need to connect the audio outputs of the motif into my mixer, besides connecting my motif, via the midi in and out to the delta 1010 that I am using? If I use a soft synth, i e the one that ships with sonar producer 4.x, I can export the track to a wave file. So, trying to get a grip on all of this, what do I need to do if I select, say, a clean jazz guitar sound on the motif, to get into a mix. And, for some reason, even if I use the soft synth, why does the midi pan just keep it in the middle. I seem to be unable to create any kind of a sterio image. The only thing that seems to come up in sterio is the pro drum works loop when imported as audios. They will roll right across the sound stage, but no matter what I try, I cannot seem to get a guitar solo, or a vocal mike panned anywhere but in the center. Once I figure this out, I'll be a happy guy.

The MIDI synthe your system uses is probably the Microsoft WaveTable (or, as
JAWS likes to call it, the Wavetable).  I have noticed that recent versions
of SONAR do not list that WaveTable driver in the MIDI input and output
options in SONAR and I don't know why.  Gordon may know.

If you have a MIDI keyboard that has its own sounds onboard, that's what you
want to connect and use.
