    How can I make x2 record a beat from jazz drummer or rock drummer?

    1. In X2, enable "Virtual Source" in Settings > MIDI / Recording > MIDI Output
    2. In X2, enable Link and Link Start/Stop
    3. in X2, set Count-In to zero bars.
    4. In RockDM enable Link and Link Start/Stop
    5. In RockDM MIDI settings enable MIDI Out to Xequence Destination, and make sure the "Send Notes" button at the top right is enabled.
    6. Press record in X2. Rock DM often includes a cymbal crash after fills, so you probably want to record an extra bar if your beat ends with a fill.

    Settings are probably similar in Jazz Drummer. I don't have it to check though.

    When you want to play back from X2, you just need to set the MIDI output destination to Rock DM, and in Rock DM enable "Sound Module".

    Hope it helps...

    Thanks for your support. I managed to sync them, so I can start jazz drummer from x2, but so far no recording.
    Should midi in be activated in x2?

    By putting AUM in between it worked. Thanks.

    Same question rgd iBassist. I can record midi data, but how do I enable the “sound module function”?

    Enable "Live MIDI In"

    [edit - At least that's how it should work. I couldn't get it to respond though. I've had problems with iBassist with external MIDI from the beginning. Sometimes I've made it work, sometimes not.]

    McD quotes, which can be high in distortion at times, do tend toward antialiasing in the upper registers. This can cause unpleasant unwanted quotes reflecting down from the Nyquist frequency to appear. These can cause a brittle or ringing quality in the quoted post. Higher levels of oversampling can reduce this, however, at the cost of higher processor overhead.

    Nice bit of writing there. Lovely use of metaphor.

    There's a NP Filter available called the "Ignore" function. Very underutilized because of the theories that
    there's potentially useful information mixed with these surreality artifacts.

    Sorry, what’s been announced?

    Announced in the sense that @SevenSystems commented that he was experimenting with audio tracks
    and had a basic audio DAW working. But we all know that's a very crowded space fraught with intense expectations that requires years of effort usually divided into parallel efforts by larger teams of coders.

    But he'll keep experimenting and who knows. Some people just want him to bolt on a one-shot audio feature which would serve the needs of many. But sending MIDI to one-shot audio players is trivial.
    What most of us wrestle with is a GUI to rule them all. AudioBus is the closest solution to the Universal Human Interface for the riches in our near line storage. And @Michael is busy working on his Looper so the demarc between Xequence | AB3 | AUM continues as they work on different segments of the border wall: Tunnels abound using Apples underground network of passages.

    Please feel free to misquote any or all of this. Metaphorical allegories appreciated.

    I wish we could change the Title of this dinosaur thread:

    Is there a way to sync start korg gadget with x2?

    A drum map for korg Bilbao and jazz drummer would be very much appreciated ☺️.

    There are at least two ways, probably more:

    • Load them both into Audiobus 3, enable Link in AB3, X2, and Gadget and use the AB3 global start.

    or.

    • Disable Link in X2 and Gadget, in X2 set a track to send to Gadget, and enable "Send Sync" in the midi settings. Then in Gadget, set MIDI Sync to Ext.

    Hi Wim, tried the second one and it’s worked fine, thanks. I was able to transfer the recorded data from x2 perfectly in sync with gadget. Here’s the next problem: Gadget can only record a maximum of 16 bars per scene. If I’ve recorded , say 32 bars in x2, I need first to record 16 bars in row 1, and then the next 16 bars in row 2. Here’s the problem: I fail to record in row two. It keeps recording in row 1 only. Any idea? Rgds Ulf

    I'm pretty sure you're stuck with 16 bars at a time there.
    I think audio recording spans scenes in Gadget, but not midi. I could be wrong on that one though.

    If your end goal is getting audio stems out of Gadget, then the most direct route is to load Gadget into AUM, play it from Xequence, and then record the output there. Solo each track in turn if you want stems.

    Well, my problem ist that I’m currently stuck with 16 bars altogether for midi, because Im unable to address the following row(s) for recording once I’ve recorded my 16 bars in the first row. Gadget keeps recording in row 1 only. I have no problem with chopping up a recording from x2, returning them to gadget in 16 bar chunks, if i know how to continue recording in following bars.

    Oh, I see. Maybe you could insert a blank scene above the recorded one, record into it, then move it down below the first.

    So, you definitely want the midi in Gadget? What is the reason for that? I ask because if the only reason is so that you can save the audio, then you don't need to do that.

    Wim, youre a genius. It worked with the blank scene!

    I ´m so happy with x2, because the recording in Gadget is way to fiddly for me and this has kept me from using it for some time. On the other hand I love the Gadget sounds. X2 suits my workflow perfectly. But in the end I want the Audio from Gadget, preferrably as stems. This seems to be the only solution, but maybe you know of an alternative.

    The alternative is to skip putting the MIDI into Gadget at all. If you have AUM, you can load Gadget in there and record its output. Then you can simply play back X2 -> Gadget while recording the output in AUM. To get individual tracks, solo each one in X2 and repeat recording for each track.

    In other words, rather than trying to export audio from Gadget, record its output.

    I hope that makes sense.

    When I've used it, I've loaded it as an AU into Audiobus, then sent notes to it through Xequence. I've only used it to play single pad instruments like the piano, not MPC style, using one pad per sound. I've had no problems with that setup.

    To play it MPC style would require some extra steps to change notes from a single channel to be spread across multiple channels. This could be done with mfxConvert or another midi converter between X2 and Beathawk.

    Yes I think it’s the best to use it as a sound module. I also have poly 2, but can so far not record anything in x2. Any idea?

    Only xequence. I just wondered what the fuss was all about 🤣

  • wimwim

    Well, as the developer envisions it, maybe not a whole lot. @SevenSystems only sees it as being practical as a full, single instance app - so basically like it is now but running inside a host instead of alongside it. There would be a few advantages such as possibly being able to follow the host tempo, and making routing a little more direct. State saving would be better, work in any compatible host, and would be automatic when you save the host project.

    Plus, there's the psychological barrier for some that you're leaving the host app and all the other apps you're controlling to jump over to Xequence and back. This isn't a huge big deal for me since I host it, most of my apps, and AUM inside Audiobus, so have one or two tap access to everything - but it seems to be a huge drawback to many.

    Some of us were trying to push the idea of a scaled down piano-roll / timeline AU version that would make it easy to drop as many instances as you need wherever and whenever you need in hosts. The idea didn't exactly take. ;)

    I think Xequence2 is amazing. If only I had more time I would definitely spend more time with it, learning to use it and probably following the advice of integrating AudioBus in the workflow. Now, I'm just a "bedroom musician" and want something fast to build a harmony for my Linnstrument jams, or setting up some generative sequencer to fiddle with the last synth I've purchased. Recording it in MIDI would be great, so I can come back to it later and work on it. And Xequence is such a fine product that I can't avoid thinking "what if..." whatever the original intention of @SevenSystems with it.
    I could pick Proton sequencer, that could do but not as it is now. It doesn't work.

    So no demands on @SevenSystems here, just wishing. He's done a wonderful work already and keeps on working on it.
