any more feedback plz?

Well when i set the controllers to the specidied values i get no sound, the channel dosent even show a bc signal ia being sent

nice....sounds great dude.

man, sick stuff drum. what type of marimba is that btw?

well i got a change when i did that, now its sending no data.

hey thanks for the replies, i have set CC 0 and 32 to various values with no changes in patch. There is a patch field that u can change, but all it lets u choose from is the GM2 bank, and there is also a bank field which lets you change course and fine bank adjustments, but that has also changed nothing.

Well, it appears like a simple sample change with my keyboard equates to: TIMESTAMP IN PORT STATUS DATA1 DATA2 CHAN NOTE EVENT 0004EEB7 3 3 B3 43 00 4 --- CC: Pedal-Soft 0004EEB8 3 3 B3 42 00 4 --- CC: Sostenuto-Thumby 0004EEB9 3 3 E3 00 40 4 --- Pitch Bend 0004EEBA 3 3 B3 01 00 4 --- CC: Modulation 0004EEBB 3 3 B2 43 00 3 --- CC: Pedal-Soft 0004EEBC 3 3 B2 42 00 3 --- CC: Sostenuto-Thumby 0004EEBD 3 3 E2 00 40 3 --- Pitch Bend 0004EEBE 3 3 B2 01 00 3 --- CC: Modulation 0004EEBF 3 3 B1 43 00 2 --- CC: Pedal-Soft 0004EEC0 3 3 B1 42 00 2 --- CC: Sostenuto-Thumby 0004EEC1 3 3 E1 00 40 2 --- Pitch Bend 0004EEC2 3 3 B1 01 00 2 --- CC: Modulation 0004EEC3 3 3 B0 40 00 1 --- CC: Pedal (Sustain) 0004EEC4 3 3 B0 43 00 1 --- CC: Pedal-Soft 0004EEC5 3 3 B0 42 00 1 --- CC: Sostenuto-Thumby 0004EEC6 3 3 E0 00 40 1 --- Pitch Bend 0004EEC7 3 3 B0 01 00 1 --- CC: Modulation

manual says i need to transmit bank select to the keyboard and tells me controller number 0,32. In MIDI Out (fl studios plugin)i set a controller to number 0, and gave it the range of 0 to 32. Still did not work, i assume i am setting the controller incorrectly.

Well as of now im using the Midi out plug in thing in FLstudio, and I make sure all the ports are matched up, and the keyboard is set to the sample I want, but the keyboard will still just play the file as general midi on playback. Im not sure how else in the flstudio plugin to tell the keyboard to change samples.

Hey all, have a question regarding midi routing to a keyboard. I want to use my daw's sequencer to send its midi play back to my keyboard (rd700nx), to use the keyboards on board samples. Ive successfully got the keyboard to play the midi file, however all I am getting is the keyboards generic Midi soundbank (your typical 170+ generic midi bank), instead of the high end samples on the keyboards sound engine. Any ideas?

Well Hole E. Makarel. Congratz OA, do you give more YES than liontamer did?

Blasphemy!

Well ous had time and space, which wasnt exactly jazz/groove/prog based

True that CT already has an album, but it itself was fairly themed, with it being the producers imagined soundtrack for a CT film. This itself would be themed, so it would give it a completely different spin. And besides that, Chrono Symphonic was almost 6 years ago, I think theres been a good cushion of time.

Howd you guess?!

As stated before, I'm not to well versed with CC, so for me to lead a CC project would be a little wreckless. I want to leave it open for mixers to choose, and moreso just focus on a theme. Personally I will be focusing on CT and RD, but if everything else turns out to be CC, then that is fine as well.

The track set is really open to any of the Chrono series, so if people tend to want to remix more Chrono Cross songs, then i'm sure the album will be mostly Chrono Cross. Its mostly to celebrate/pay tribute to Mitsudas work during this period and put a cool twist onto it, rather than be a chrono trigger, or chrono cross remix album. Personally I've only played a bit of Cross, and while I'm familiar with a fair bit of the music from it, i'd be a bit ahead of myself heading a chrono cross specific album, IMO. That being said, if it worked out that the album was like 80% Cross, I wouldn't complain. I want to keep it open to the mixers to choose what they want to mix, as I think pre-planning a setlist can kind of pigeon-hole people into mixing something even if it dosen't jump out at them right away.

For sure, I've been doing some recruiting on the side, and once I have at least a few hands on deck I'll get this thread up and rolling

Maybe I'm being to loose (?) with the term improvisation, but I'm definitley going for a non electronica, sequenced based sound. For examples, almost anything coming out of OneupStudios, especially The One Ups (secret of the forest, aquatic ambience, anything off of volume 1) would be a good example. Other examples (?) -Midnight Club at Corel (red tailed fox/shnabubala) -Short Skirts (djpretzel, vigilante) Hopefully I'm a little clearer now ha.

If it means getting more people on board, id be happy to open up the genres to include things such as rock etc, but mostly genres with improvisation, and genres which are not heavily over-refined (i.e. electronica etc.)And it'd be awesome to get you on for a tune Brandon, you can AIM or pm me if you have any questions.

Im hoping to get enough support on board and interest behind it to make an ocr release

Hey everyone, I've had this idea brooding in my head for awhile and was thinking of just producing it on my own with local musicians/musicians ive worked with on OCR before, but I thought I'd open it up to the public and hopefully we can get something really awesome rolling here. So basically the idea is to have a Chrono series album (Chrono Trigger, Radical Dreamers, Chrono Cross) with music arranged in more groove based genres such as Jazz, Soul, Blues, Funk, Prog, etc. with more emphasis based on arrangment and performance of the songs. This album will require much collaboration between the arrangers and musicians to produce something that feels very natural and smooth as opposed to over quantanized/mechanical (for a more musical example of what im hoping to achieve, there is always alot of music coming out of OneUp studios that is crafted in this fashion....). I'm hoping to finish with an album of hopefuly 15 or less songs so that we can focus on quality over quantity. I have no pre-planned song list per say, anything from these three games is fair game as far as I'm concerned, and there is plenty of great material. Yasunori Mitsuda is a very jazz/prog orientated composer and his works lend themselves very well to improvisation and jazz orientated genres. If you are at all interested in helping out with this project, whether you be an arranger, musician, album artist, site builder, please PM me and let me know and hopefully we can get you on board. I'm hoping that we can create something really original, genuine and memorable here, and hopefully we can assemble an awesome team. Hope to hear from you!

i guess it really depends on what you have for material. Personally, If i get a few good solid ideas into my head, I can kind of manipulate a few of those into a song structure, and then go from there. I'll usually just end up plotting it out on paper like such: Intro Vamp (16 measures)-----A Section (Drums/Synths/Guitar/Vocals)-----Segue w/key change-----Solos----etc. this gives me a fairly good map, with room to add things if needed.

Well im actually going to be going with a 2 keyboard setup here, ill be purchasing a keyboard (roland 700nx or yamaha cp5) as just the keyboard with all the good bread and butter sounds. However, I want a secondary synth for some variation/soloing/just cause ive always wanted a synth which has fully programmable sounds down to the sine wave.

DAW based synths used through midi keyboards is always an option, but not the most practical for regular touring musicians. To begin with, I would need to purchase a laptop capable of running the hardware at absolutley 0 latency, and that would be reliable enough to not mess up (i.e. crashes, clicks/pops, glitches etc. etc.) Not to mention, that also adds more equipment to the hauling list (keyboard,laptop,extra cables, more stands etc.) On top of that, any moog voyager I have ever seen even used is at least past the 2k mark. more than i want to spend
