Midi marker track

Post by pa4x_user »

Maybe this is "old hat" for the experts, but I was recently cleaning up a midi files on my Cubase DAW. Never used a marker track before so decided to experiment -

I used the marker track in Cubase for :

Intro
Verse 1, verse 2 etc
Choruses
Bridge
Riff
Play out, And so on.

So when you export and play the midi on the Pa4x, and press the 'marker' button, you can see where you are up to in the song - for some complicated songs this can be really handy.

And if you click on a marker entry on the Pa4x touch screen (eg last chorus) the playback jumps to that part of the midi so really easy to do repeats.

I have had my Pa4x nearly 5 years and only just added this to my learning experience. It is going to be very handy.

You can do that on instrument itself you know.
No need for Daw for this.

Thanks Korg1,

Yes, I worked that out after my original post - it is so much easier just doing it on the Pa4X. Take care,
