Re.Midi commands

[toktiny]

Hi Sherry

My sincere thanks for you taking an interest in my problem. I do realise from your previous mail that my Notation Composer can not be used so you could have passed it off and advised me to look elsewhere, so for this I appreciate your help.

I downloaded the manual for the BCN44 and looked on the net for any further information. I would be using it as a Midi Merge and I came across the following report, which throws a little doubt as to its suitability;

“A point to note regarding using the BCN44 as a MIDI merge - the BCN44 is equipped with a MIDI in, for use primarily with a MIDI keyboard. The level of data traffic at the midi input should be relatively low. However - if the input device is a fully-fledged MIDI instrument - the level of data traffic is immense, and this can lead to blockages at the MIDI input buffer. In this application the BCN44 will not be adequate as a MIDI Merge function.”

I will have to be honest and say that my tech. knowledge of MIDI equipment is very limited as to compatability, manner of connection etc.etc.

I will look further into the suitability of this machine and come back and let you know how I get on. Again my thanks for your interest.

Kind regards

Toni

Hi Toni,

It might be worth asking on some of the Roland user forums that are around (I just googled "roland user forum" and came up with quite a few) if anyone else is doing what you want to do, and see how they're doing it.

If anyone is using a MIDI sequencer to do these changes, then there's quite possibly a way that we can get Notation Composer to do it for you

Good luck!

Hi Sherry

Many thanks for your reply.

I am a member of the Roland Arramger Group and The BK-7M Yahoo Group and
needless to say that they were my first port of call several weeks ago as
they are a great bunch of lads and lassies (like yourself !) who would be
only too willing to help if they could ,unfortunatly I have had no luck.. I
am afraid that I was clutching at straws for an answer when I contacted your
site as I just thought that Notation Composer might just have had some
facility which I overlooked.

I have not gven up on this yet and will let you know one way or the other in
due course. I should say at this point that Notation Composer is doing
exactly what I want it to do for me and I would be lost without it.

Again my sincere thanks for your interest.

Kind regards

Toni
