motu DP4 + yamaha rs7000

trying to record midi from the rs7000 into dp4, it looks like it gets there fine but when it plays back it sounds all fucked up (droppped notes and weird quantize)

I've checked both the input and output quantize funtions in dp and the rs and they're both off

cant figure it out for te life of me

need help yo

DP is not my in my M.O.

Unfortunately, I cannot help you with your problem.

However, I'd love to know what you think of the RS7000. I'm looking for a new sampler and it's a toss up between the ASR-X Pro and the RS7000. I've heard some people bitch about the interface on the RS7K, but I have a deep affection for my RY-30, so I'm not sure if such bitches apply to me.

Isn't it possible to save RS7000 sequences as Standard MIDI Files directly to a CF card? Wouldn't it be easier and more reliable to transfer the sequences that way? Or are you trying to record some kind of live jam? What kind of MIDI interface are you using? Using MOTU hardware with DP is supposed to provide much tighter MIDI timing, although I can't verify that...

it is recording a live performance

so the card is out of the question

the midi hardware is a motu interface

really need someone who is comfortable in DP to answer this ?

as for the rs7000 i think its great

i've only used it a few times but it's got some neat functions and the one at the studio has all the goodies too

some neat functions

only 2 pads w/velocity though

I'm trying to troubleshoot this for someone else though

don't have an rs of my own....

One last idea and then I'm out.. Perhaps a ton of extraneous MIDI data is being recorded into DP, like a bunch of SYSEX information or something like that. I could see that bogging things down on playback. If there is an input filter, I'd try filtering out everything except for what you need (notes, CCs, midi clock, etc.) and see if that doesn't make a difference.

hadn't thought of that

big ups, I'll see if it works
