Hi Masood

Welcome to the forums - was great to chat with you today.
As I mentioned, I have mostly focused recently on multitrack audio with Logic (but not with my PA4X)

I am sure someone here will help and I too would be keen to get some help with this.

Take care

Pete Very Happy

What do you mean '' i want all the 16 tracks from the keyboard to show up in logic ?

Do you want to record just a track or you wanna rec in multitrack ?

Depending what you want to do :

-You can export the whole style in to a midi file and import it in DAW.
All tracks that hold information on every element will be shown.

- record multitrack,including right hand and pads .
Can be done in Cubase/Nuendo. It should be done in Studio One or Logic too.

Hi guys,

Thank you for a response. So what i want to do is play a song like as if playing in a normal gig and recorded it on logic sort of live with the tracks seperated so that i can master them accordingly if that makes sense.

So how do i export a style as a midifile and import into logic?

In this case you don't need to export the style,
but to rec in multitrack option.
I had posted somewhere here or on fb
a short clip showing how to
prepare the tracks for that on Nuendo or Cubase.
I assume this can be also done on Logic or any other daw.

I still hold that MIDI recordings of entire performances (style and solos) made in the arranger itself and then exported as SMF’s tend to have slightly tighter timing accuracy than going up a MIDI or USB cable and having the computer record that stream...

If your workflow starts with a complete performance and then simply needs light editing and then recording each Part as an audio track (to use higher quality effects and compression, etc.) for later mixing and mastering, doing the initial capture in the arranger is probably the easiest way to go.

BR, I don’t think this is what the OP is talking about. He wants to record himself playing a song, not edit a style, I believe.

hi KF, If you ask me, Cubase is far better onthat,
making styles edit and much more is easier on Cubase, Logic must update that soon, Its great but this litle thing is missin in Logic, So i hope i,m wrong. It shud be the same.

Draging the whole recording to the right position later is not a problem i believe.
Of course some Daw still can be synced to midi in notes,Cubase for Atari ST was great for that,don't know why this option doesn't work anymore since then.

On other hand,exporting he style and import it in Daw gives you the tighter timing accuracy,no doubt for that.

Third option that nobody mentioned so far ,is to record in pa4x's sequencer using fast method whatever you want to record using the style,right hand and pads,save it as a midi file,and then import it on cubase.
I don't remember if you will need to quantize or move manually the start point,or if is gonna be an extra empty bar due to internal sequencer,but you can give a try,i think that works too.

Just in realtime recording you can play over and over if you need to,if you need to change just one track or a detail on a track,while will be double and triple if you decide to record that first on the keyboard's sequencer.

i can't write down the whole process right now ,but if it helps,
if someone knows how to use "input transformer" functions on Cubase/Nuendo,he could easily make all 16tracks write individually midi data/notes/controllers etc while playing on pa4x.

Just try to sync as possible to the metronome while recording,to avoid extreme quantizing later.

It works great,and is the only way of multitrack midi recording real time,
otherwise quick record on pa4's sequencer is your second best way ofdoing it,and edit it later on daw.

That's true,only when using Atari's cubase5 can trigger Cubase start recording when pressing the pa4x's keys....
Too bad my Atari,along with monitor,hard disk and a Roland 606 were stollen 10years ago.

But i believe some other Daws are capable of doing that,set pa4x as master and daw as slave ,and record,otherwise you will need a timepiece
