   I play a Roland AT90 SL and have it connected by midi to a Roland Fantom XR. The organ uses midi channels 1-4 and these are the midi channels I use on the Fantom. I would like to be able to record the midi output so that I can edit it and then play the midi file back through the Fantom so that the Fantom voices are used. Has anybody any advice on how to achieve this? I have a computer and do have a copy of Cubase LE. So far I have only managed to record all midi channels on to each midi channel.

   Is there an easy way to record multi channel midi output so that each channel can be edited?

   Any help appreciated.

   Hi Keith
   You probably have Cubase set to Omni mode, (Receive on all channels) so set each Midi Track in Cubase to receive only on the channel you require. (As you have 4 channels you will need to use 4 tracks)
   Hope this helps

   I think the issue may be that you wish to play all the parts at once, as in a live organ performance, but want the computer to seperate out the information you are sending on each channel. The problem occurs because you can only record through your one midi connection to one midi track in cubase at a time. Howqever, cubase can recognise that you have performed on seperate midi channels. You should be able to filter the view to only show one track at a time, or be able to get cubase to expand out the recording onto seperate track onbce you have made the recording (one track per part/channel received) For the life of me I don't know how to do this in cubase, as I don't use it, but it can be done in Sonar. I am sure cubase can do it though.

   Thanks for your replies. I certainly do want to record all four midi tracks at once. If you can only record to one midi track at a time it would seem pointless allowing you to select multiple tracks to record. Perhaps the answer is, as Sweentech suggests, in some form of filtering. Will look into this and report back if I am successful.

   Hi Keith
   Most versions of Cubase allow you to record on multiple tracks simultaneously, however perhaps the simpler versions do not allow this.

   Try this option
   1. Record you track as you do now
   2. Right click the track and switch to Midi 1 which should split the tracks for you (Being a basic version it may be named something else, however the option should be in there somewhere)

   Hope this helps
