Subject:Roland XP-60 & Acid Pro Posted by: MusicBear Date:10/15/2000 7:49:00 PM Hi, I want to sync Acid Pro to my Roland XP-60 sound module. What I want to accomplish, is to record three different instruments, in three seperate passes, from my XP-60, to Acid Pro, in perfect sync. Is this possible? If so, what procedures would I follow to accomplish this? Thanks, Ray "MusicBear" Baker www.nav.to/musicbear
Subject:Re: Roland XP-60 & Acid Pro Reply by: Rednroll Date:10/16/2000 3:40:00 PM Ray the best way to do this is to have Acid generate a Midi Beat Clock, Send your Midi out of your PC, which will send a beat clock, to the XP-60's Midi In. This is where it get's difficult, because I have owned a few Roland keyboards, You have to set the XP-60 to "External" midi clock. Last time I tried this on an XP-50 was a few years back, and Rolands manuals always suck for this kind of info. So if you already know how to do this, then you're ahead of the game. Set the tempo in Acid to whatever your current song tempo is. Then solo each track on your XP-60 and then hit Record on Acid and follow the instructions in the menus to record. Acid should start playing your sequence on the XP-60 if you have everything setup correctly. You can check by hitting play on Acid first, to make sure the XP-60 is receiving the beat clock, and in turn the XP-60 should play simultaneously to whatever tempo you have selected in Acid.
