A new beta build with initial MIDI support is now up for your perusal! Grab it at <http://www.doggiebox.com/distribution/Doggiebox-1C2.zip>
Woo hoo!
• In the drum kit document window, there is a new table column labeled "MIDI" and a corresponding input field near the bottom of the window. This field indicates what MIDI "note on" message is sent when the corresponding drum plays back, as well as what is listened for when selecting instruments during editing. [...] • Currently, only "note on" events are sent over MIDI. This will cause some sounds, such as crash cymbals and open hi-hats, to sound strange (e.g. with inappropriately long decay) depending on your playback device. This will be fixed shortly, with accompanying "note off" events happening where they should. [...] • MIDI input is not currently observed in the song editor (e.g. for switching instruments or real-time input). This will be implemented eventually.
OK, I haven't got anything, hardware or software, that pays attention to MIDI note on/off, though I suppose I could download SimpleSynth and see if it works for me as Ben expects :) However, I would be interested to know if anyone managed to figure out a "software chain" that would get Doggiebox MIDI output eventually all the way to a discrete .mid file. I suppose perhaps if DB's MIDI output were routed to some sequency program that reads MIDI input and could save the result .....? Though when MMC and MTC come along, I'll definitely need to rush out to get USB-MIDI interface cable and hook up my digital deck! <homer>Mmmm, sweet, sweet automated control ....</homer> Cheers, Carl ps - A guy in my office who plays guitar took one of the MP3 drum tracks I created in DB, put it in CuBase, and recorded his own rendition of the song. So, thanks to DB, I've been covered ;) I stuck the MP3 he made on my website as well, with the original (though I suppose they are all really "works in progress"). -- Carl Edlund Anderson http://www.carlaz.com/
