Gadget MIDI import

    The chopping thing is quirky, but I don't see how it could have been done any differently considering their overarching concept. It does beg a new feature, though. I find myself wanting to press-hold to drag one clip onto another and append it. I suppose you could get real clever and drag whole rows, appending each track automatically.

    That would be fantastic

    Firo, too.

    Scratch that. Every file you import overwrites the last. I was hoping to write song sections in Firo's looper, then splice them all together in Gadget for arrangement, but back to the drawing board for me. I could line them all up in Cubasis first, I guess, but it's becoming too much work at this point.

    Chordbot should still work, so long as you make sure you are finished with the entire arrangement before exporting.

    The import handles long midi files and chops everything into 4-bar scenes.
    If the midi-file contains held notes that span longer than 4 bars they will 'stop' after the first 4 bars...

    Do you mean "4 beat" since everyone else has been saying 1 bar and a file I just imported did 1 bar per scene (chopping off the first bass note which is really held for 3 bars)?

    If you actually found a way to import MIDI into Gadget with 4 bar scenes I'd love to hear it.

  • I found that if you import a GM drum file, of course you need to move around some of notes to work with Gladstone since it's not GM mapped. But you want to do this before changing the gadget or the notes that are outside of Gladstone's range will just not appear.

    Chordbot works fine.

    You're right it's 1 bar(4 beats) 'scenes', my bad...

    Wait, but if it overwrites the last import doesn't that mean that you cannot import Chordbots midi on different tracks? Which is what I would want seeing as how Chordbot has multiple tracks itself.

    Just imported a bunch in on different tracks no problem with Chordbot. May not be getting what you're asking...

  • @JohnnyGoodyear oh good. I must've misunderstood

  • @Tritonman try exporting something to Dropbox first before trying the import. It will ask you to authorize Gadget to acces Dropbox files after which the importing will work. This solved the error for me. Dunno why the authorization doesn't launch for import but oh well

  • @db909 said:

    You did, or I wasn't clear enough. The tracks in each file come in fine. What I'm trying to do is combine separate midi files into one composition. Gadget will only do one at a time. If you have a complete song you want to pull in, you should be good to go.

  • @aaronpc yeah I just figured that out. Man it really sucks for organization having them in 1 bar scenes. I think a good workaround they should implement is having them come in at whatever number of bar increments you have the top scene set to. So if scene 1 is 16 bars, it's all 16 bar sections

    You may (BIG MAY) be able to set up an empty scene with whatever number of tracks/bar lengths you want and then record midi in from Cubasis. I have exported Gadget tracks to my PC Daw and then re-recorded them back into Gadget, worked like a charm.

    You betcha! Thanks for that, it works like a charm.

    But how would you synch the start of the recording ?

    AudioBus global transport has worked perfectly for me in various combinations (ModStep, Patterning, Fugue Machine come to mind...). Add Link where the hosts support it and it's been rock solid every time. I don't have Cubasis, so I can't speak for how well it works with the AudioBus transport.

    Very useful feature to me. I imagine it's Type 0, single track.

    @jn2002dk said:
    This is fantastic

    It's the one feature i've missed the most

    Brilliant

    For now, it's iTunes and Dropbox only but it's such a great feature

    Yes! This feature has made an already fantastic program even fantasticker!

    This works playing back Cubasis and recording synced into Gadget...



  • Ok... I think Korg released a buggy midi import feature and will fix it soon... Who in their right mind will want to use this (import 1 bar)..

  • @BiancaNeve said:

    Oh and here it is with 4 bar lengths which I realise was the original point of my post heh

    I wouldn't say it's buggy. No matter what they did, it wasn't going to work for everybody. It's a very tricky thing to attempt if you think about it, and I give them credit for trying. The way I see it, adding this feature will probably hasten the arrival of better clip editing and copy/paste, so we can make the feature more useful.

    Did not mean to sound ungrateful.. I do applaud Korg for pushing the envelope...
    Ok... Maybe I can use the 1 bar thing as a drum pattern starter...
    Peace..

  • @AudioGus huh? You got it to import at 4 bar lengths by syncing the clock to an external source?

  • @db909 said:

    No. I think he's just showing how recording the midi is a better option for getting longer clips. Good to know that works well, but no less laborious for doing a full song, I'm afraid.

    Yes that is what i was showing.

    4 bars midi import lol. All they do is frustrating people enough so they buy the next hip gadget that's basically the exact same synth patched differently, with another design.

    Next!

    So much for my good outlook.
