Three problems. Can anyone help?

Post by Tarrare »

(a) The main volume controller on my MIDI keyboard is broken and outputting bad data. I have tried to use the 'reassign continuous data' feature to send all CC7 data to an unused CC, but this means that I cannot change CC7 by drawing a curve in the MIDI window. Is there a way to disable the CC7 input from my keyboard without losing the ability to change it on the computer?

(b) I have four tracks:

Trumpet 1 articulations
Trumpet 1 legato
Trumpet 2 articulations
Trumpet 2 legato

which I want to write to the same staff in the QuickScribe window in two different ways:
I want the articulation and legato patches for each trumpet to display as if they are coming from a single MIDI track.
I also want trumpets 1 and 2 to appear as separate parts on the same staff (different situation to before). Is this possible?

(c) I am trying to send the output of multiple Kontakt instruments to the same aux track. I am currently sending each Kontakt instrument through individual aux busses which are each routed to the master aux. Is there a way to simplify this process by assigning multiple instrument inputs to a single aux bus?

I am using DP8 on PC. Thanks!

Go to the Setup Menu and choose Input Filter...

This will let you select specific things for DP to ignore on the way in. That should work.

For question B, I often have tracks that are "display only" where I merge and do whatever I want for the QS needs and know that the track is not play enabled. But obviously, this has to be done when the tracks are nearly finished.

For question C, you can assign outputs all within Kontakt so they all go to the same either bus pair, or output. I usually set up a stereo bus for that kind of thing.
