Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Bah, humbug. It is 'fun' when you use the hardware sequencer and a real 808 and an Oberheim and try to find all the cably bits in obscure dark electric supplies stores with constantly dusty and stained windows.

I have to say, I'm with Iz on this one!

I go Roland 707 >>> Alesis MMT8 Sequencer >>> Akai S3000 >>>> Speakers

I buy the gadgets in a second hand music supplies shop in Leeds called Big Deal - where the staff are always rude and they have massive piles of boxs with nobs on :D

Husek, before you go buying a sampler, go and buy an actual drum machine... that is the starting point.

I use, a PC, A soundblaster audigy pro sound card, not got Mac money yet, reason, used to be cubase, a evolution MK149 midi keyboard, a zoom RT123 drum machine(the one that plays two "kits" at once and bass) that has no removable memory! Two turbosound 420 monitors, a very old but working yamaha 16 channel mixing desk/amp combo thing (donated from work), four turbosound 500 watt 8DP speakers to get the noises out of the amp, and into the world. It works, and bypasses the stuff that I don't yet have.. Reason works, Cubase worked too, but I wanted the redrum. I also have a bass, plugged into a distortion pedal. This set up was not made to sound like the sisters, it was made as a remix tool, but I have managed to cover their version of Emma, lucretia, and Alice, badly.
we're better than the birthday party, but not as good as motorhead, that makes us pretty damn good!!!!

I've got a question of my own... how do you split a midi signal?

Basically, my sequencer allows for multi track recording. So I put the drums on track 1 and the keyboards on track 2. I've recorded them both on different MIDI channels and yet when I plug it into the keyboard, it plays the drums back as bass notes (as well as the keyboard riff I intended it to play)

Also - how do I daisy chain the sequencer >>> Drum Machine >>> Keyboard. The sequencer can output a midi line and a midi keyboard line, on seperate midi channels but I can't make it into the drum machine and keyboard at the same time?

Do I need some kind of midi splitter? i.e. 16 channels in one input, 16 separate channels out.

Don't worry about answering this technoheads. I figured out. You can't Daisy chain the Roland but you can Daisy chain the Akai.

Score!
