Subject:MIDI TO BR-1180 Posted by: granny Date:3/12/2004 5:36:11 PM I know that I need to upgrade my setup that consists of celeron processor, but would that be the reason that I can't send acid created tracks as midi back to my digital recorder (bossbr1180). Acid pro 4.0 to tascam us-122 with midi time clock enabled to recorder. All midi leds on but no sync track created. Do I need to save or render (drumtracks in acid) as something else? ( because I'm just playing the project file when trying to sync to recorder). Roland says to check my cables. Thanks in advance
Subject:RE: MIDI TO BR-1180 Reply by: Iacobus Date:3/13/2004 11:34:32 AM Definitely check your cables. I had a similar problem of sending/receiving MIDI once and it was because of a bad MIDI cable. Make sure everything is setup correctly under the MIDI and Sync tabs under Options>Preferences on the menu bar. Are you trying to record MIDI or digital audio from ACID Pro 4.0?

Subject:RE: MIDI TO BR-1180 Reply by: granny Date:3/13/2004 12:57:48 PM thanks, i'm trying to sync an acid project (drum tracks) back to my bossbr1180's rhythm track. According it's manual, it can only be done with midi.
Subject:RE: MIDI TO BR-1180 Reply by: Iacobus Date:3/13/2004 5:29:51 PM Hmmm...I've tried finding more info on the BR1180. From what I could glean, I guess you could also import and export WAV's? I couldn't find much on its MIDI functions, other than it has MIDI I/O. Can the BR1180 act as master or slave in a MIDI sync situation? Some devices can do one but not both. Nice little doohickey, BTW. :) Iacobus ------- RodelWorks - Original Music for the Unafraid mD's ACIDplanet Page Guitars 4 Kids
Subject:RE: MIDI TO BR-1180 Reply by: granny Date:3/14/2004 4:59:00 PM BR1180 has separate "utilities". Under MIDI, I may choose Master or Off ( I leave off). Under "sync track" (where I want to be) there is no option. So, it's ok to just play Acid file live to interface to recorder? thanks
Subject:RE: MIDI TO BR-1180 Reply by: Iacobus Date:3/15/2004 8:48:43 PM I would assume that "Off" means no MIDI sync at all (but I could be wrong). (Note that ACID should preferably be the master in any MIDI sync situation. I'm not quite sure how the importing/exporting WAV's function works on the BR-1180, but it's worth a shot if you can do it. Try rendering out of ACID via File>Render As on the menu bar. (You can choose to render a specific part of the project by placing the Loop Region over the project and using the "render loop region only" option under the Render dialog window.)

Subject:RE: MIDI TO BR-1180 Reply by: granny Date:3/18/2004 5:15:08 PM thanks mD. after further review, midi on digital machine must be only to sync midi clock with sequencer and not with sequencer's performance. Thinking I could send my Acid tracks to it's sync track appears to be wrong. I've upgraded my setup and will change direction, but I appreciate your help. granny
