VOYAGER MIDI FUN

Ok.

This is the deal. I have a MOTU Fastlane USB Midi device. There is A IN/OUT, and B IN/OUT.

I have the MIDI OUT from the Moog going to the MOTU A IN, and the MIDI IN from the Moog going to the MOTU A OUT.

When I setup cubase sx

I have 1 Midi track that says Input FASTLANE A, and OUTPUT FASTLANE B.

THen I add a Audio Mono track which is read in from the Audio i/o card.

I can record the midi fine, but it won't playback the midi into the moog.

So how do I get the moog to play back from cubase?

Also.. will all my knob adjustments be recorded as well? Including anything I do on the touch pad? or is the pitch, modwheel, and keys the only recorded midi data?

I am still a tad new, but not an idiot.

Thanks for any help!!!

countlove,

I used to own a Fastlane. If I remeber correctly there is a switch on the front that can be pushed in. I can't remember which is which but you may try pushing it in and out and trying to transmit both ways.

Also, make sure your MIDI setup is configured correctly in Cubase (you'll need to read the Fastlane and the Cubase MIDI setup sections). You can contact MOTU and Steinberg too.

Ok.. I pushed the button you were talking about and it worked..

Do you know if all the knobs, and touch pad will record from cubase? Or do I have to setup a bunch of stuff to do so?

Also... can cubase change presets on the fly using the moog?

That's the part I can't answer. I am still using Cubase VST 32 on Mac OS 9.2 so I don't have any experience with SX. I'm waiting for my hard drive to crap out before I upgrade to a G5. Everything's already configured so I'll wait to go through all of that until I have to.

I'm sure there is some good info about MIDI recording in the manual and I'm almost 100% sure you can do it in SX. The Steinberg tech support team can answer any questions and tell you how to set it up.

I have also seen a lot of tutorial books for Cubase around so I'm sure there are ones available for SX. I hope that helps. I'm sure there are fellow Moogers that use SX and can help you out too.
