[Qtractor-devel] Recording multiple midi tracks simultaneously

[Will R. <wi...@vi...>]

Is it possible to record and monitor multiple midi tracks simultaneously?
I have multiple controllers and outboard midi modules which I would like to
record simultaneously, live performance style. One instrument per track.
Many tracks. Many controllers.

Thanks!

Hi,

I dropped Linux MIDI in favour of proprietary MIDI software. I don't
remember, if Qtractor is able to do it, but I guess it could. Have you
already tried to arm several MIDI tracks? If so, is there a problem?

If there should be issues, what are those issues?

I could imagine a few possible pitfalls, that might be solvable by using
qmidiroute.

It might be helpful to mention what version of Qtractor you are using.

Regards,
Ralf

Yes it can.

You have to:

a. set different MIDI channel for each input outboard controller or
module and assign that into each recording MIDI track;

b. where the above is not possible or desirable, create and set a
different MIDI input bus for each controller or module and assign that
to each recording MIDI track--this is very similar to what to have to do
for recording different audio sources simultaneously;

c. better turn off Track > Auto-monitor if doing any multi-track
simultaneous recording, as it will confuse things on the current
highlighted track (eg. automatic MIDI channel filtering);

hth.

That was it - Auto-monitor.
At first it seemed like you could only monitor the selected track,
but turning off auto-monitor and activating individual tracks state/monitor
switch did the trick!

Many thanks
