Solved Routing Hurts My Brain... (Question About Using MIDI to Trigger & Record External Instrument)

[Jodkey]

Somehow, I'm misunderstanding the basic concept. I feel like I've done this before.. But apparently I didn't grasp it properly. Hopefully, it begins to make more sense...

I'm trying to use a MIDI file to trigger playback of a preset from my external instrument. (I already have an external instrument track set up that can record audio from my keyboard, which you can see below)

So, that's step one.

Step 2 is having that track with the MIDI file route into the audio track to record the external instrument. (I think I'm saying that correctly.)

This way, I can edit the MIDI notes of my performance. And once it's been cleaned up, I can hit record, and it will playback the now-edited MIDI file and record the MIDI performance to the audio track - using the preset from my external instrument.

I hope that makes sense. Thank you, thank you...

Well, I didn't find an answer to the 2nd part of my question. But I eventually figured it out on my own. Thank you for the resources.

And maybe someday, the delay compensation in this AUX channel setup will eventually be fixed

Delay compensation for external instruments

Hi everyone, I am using S1 for quite some years now - currently, I am using the latest 7.x version. Lately, I bought a new hardware synth which I now try to include in my projects. I have set it up using two external devices - one for the "MIDI controller", one for the "instrument". And I have...
