Try switching to a different instrument on a track where you’ve initially placed a TAIPEI.
You can’t.
There are two fundamental kinds of musical information that can be recorded into GADGET - MIDI and AUDIO.
There is NO logic - no need - NO POINT - to have a THIRD category in Gadget called "MIDI OUT". a category which can't be switched into or out of - for another built-in instrument.
One should be able to create MIDI in Salzburg or Phoenix - and then - if one so wishes - change instrument to TAIPEI - for "midi out" and then - if one desires - switch back from TAIPEI to Salzburg again.
No other DAW has this pointless third category. Ableton for sure doesn't.
If a track has MIDI on it - then one should be able to decide at any time what gadget is to "Play" that MIDI. And by "Play" that includes routing the MIDI out to an external instrument - be it hardware or AudioUnit or IAA app.
There is NO logic. and certainly no workflow-benefit in not allowing us to switch a track with TAIPEI on it to use a different MIDI instrument.
So lets say for example you've been using a hardware stage piano like a NORD to record AND play back via the NORD PIANO the patterns recorded in GADGET 2 via TAIPEI - but then - away from the NORD you want to just hear and edit the patterns on the track via one of the built-in piano gadgets in GADGET. You can't. Unlike for all other MIDI gadgets - one cannot simply pick a different instrument and audition the track.
Ie let’s. Say you create midi and are sending it to a synth outside gadget but then want to play the same track patterns on a gadget instrument...
You can’t.

Re: GADGET2 bug: Can't switch TAIPEI track to another instru
surprised you got crickets on this one. chiming in super late here but yeah, i agree. its implementation like this is super bizarre.nonchai wrote:Try switching to a different instrument on a track where you’ve initially placed a TAIPEI.
