Hi Chaps,
Another noob question for you guru's if I may. I have spend the last few hours trying to find an easier way to insert a Midi pattern from disk into the sequencer (assume I have several midi drum patterns on disk that I want to insert at certain places in the sequencer). I cannot seem to find an easy way so I am sure I'm missing a trick. The only way I can see to do it is to load the midi file into an unused sequence song, go to that song and copy the pattern to the actual song track/measure. Is this correct?
I've searched the manuals, watched tutorials but cannot find any reference to doing this. Irish Acts have a tutorial on inserting WAVs and that was ivery useful but the Midi even edit does not work the same for inserts. Is there any easier way ?
Thanks all
Steve V

Re: Import multiple midi patterns to sequencer
I don't think there's any other way. I'm basing that on my knowledge of the Oasys. I use my Kronos mainly for combis.MrSteveVee wrote:Hi Chaps,

I would just directly record the midi parts in from a daw.
sync kronos to daw or the other way and record it in to rppr or the track.

Seems like recorded midi data is filed to disk as a song file. If your disk file is .SNG file, then it has to be loaded as a song even though your data is made to be just a snipet of a song.
It just may be a fact of the filing system. But once loaded as a song in Sequencer, its open fodder for sequencer work and the way data is handled in sequencer.
RPPR uses midi tracks as they were and the RPPR track data can be converted to a User pattern or drum track pattern and wll be stored as such. it can be midi pattern for drums or melody and harmony instruments. All that matters is the program selected over the midi track data.
Once you have it stored as a drum track pattern which goes up to 64 units of length, you can select it to a track in RPPR and work on it from there as regular midi track fodder.
RPPR can be used for more than drum midi data but it may limit what range of midi data you can store as a pattern. Not sure though but i think it may limit some things from control surface input. I hope i am wrong about that because that would mean easy work.
Once you have midi data stored as a user pattern, it can be freely used between songs just like passing around midi track files between songs. They will store with whatever song you made them in and be available to use in any other song you choose.
You can load a lot of songs in one song file batch if i recall correctly, and have their content all there in sequencer to swap around and seems to take no more time or steps than if you could select tracks from disk mode to insert in any track at any song in seq. mode.
Song file management seems to be best way to make things eaiser.
RPPR user pattern route may not be helpful nor any easier in some applications because of drum track length limits and possible midi data type limits.
