Yeseniabaraq Prenoob Joined: 08:09:05 Messages: 11 Offline I don't have a midi keyboard at the moment, and i tried to set up my computers qwerty keyboard as a midi in the configure audio device. I tried to add an external device by going under Presonus and selecting Qwerty keyboard, there is two options after its been selected at the bottom. Which is 'Split Channels' & 'Default Instrument Input' I selected the 2nd 'default instrument' one but I cannot get the Presonus to respond to my keyboard inside the Instruments box. I did notice that when i press on the qwerty buttons other things respond to it like the m & s on the track box and some buttons on the top of the interface but not for instruments. I dont know if its possible or what is that I have to do to get it to function.

Open Mix, on the left side find External, and click on it. External Device column appears. Double-click to the Qwerty Keyboard. Qwet Keyboard appears, and you can use your computer keyboard as MIDI controller, now.

This sounds interesting (Live can do this as well but it is just a toggle in the GUI last I recalled). Cool if so lol.

You can switch octaves by using left/right arrows of your computer keyboard.

Someone posted how to do this a month or so ago. Trust me, I googled and did my researched before I came here to ask for help. The one question that actually suited my situation that I found was the one and only question that was never answered, imagine that, so I can't get no help there.

Not to mention I just called Tech Support and after 30mins of waiting a recording tells me to leave my name and number so that they can enter a support ticket for me and respond to me in 1 to 2 business days? I try to do my research and look around for answers before I actually ask for help lol.That's me. Martin.jirsak wrote:Your Qwerty Keyboard editor has to be opened.

You were helping me out on the other question about virtual instruments not wanting to record, well u just killed two birds with one stone LOL. I went in and opened the mix (it is on the right side for me but thanks okay ) and I clicked on external and clicked on the '+' sign by external devices and went under Presonus and selected the qwerty keyboard and added the qwerty keyboard. If i'm being descriptive because I know this question will be asked again and if they are smart like me lol they will look around for answers first. The thing is that I didn't know as the noob I am that I wasn't suppose to close the qwerty after I selected it & i thought that I was going to be able to use ALL of the keys on my board, but no, you can only use the actual 'QWERTY' keys and a few numbers at the top. Thank you martin.jirsak.

And the rest who helped me as well. Good day gentlemen. This message was edited 2 times.

Those last 2 pictures are the key! That's what I had to figure out. How to open it within Presence, Mojito, etc. Now if they'd just enable more keys so we could more easily span 2 octaves at once. Anyone have a novel idea on this? Currently, I usually use Presence for my bass guitar so the 1 octave limitation isn't a show stopper.

Probably one of the first requests I made was that S1 should be two octaves. One is just too limited. You can't modify the qwerty, so the only way to have real control would be a real controller. Korg and M-Audio make some very small two octave controllers if you looking to save space and their velocity sensitive..

Besides, the qwerty is never going to give you any real dynamic control so you end up poking around with each note adjusting velocity and that takes way too long. I still feel a two octave qwerty is needed for a laptop when you're on vacation for example. Reason has a 1.5 octave qwerty and even that is an improvement over strictly one octave. Have the 1,2,3,4.

Row handle black keys (for lower octave, Q,W,E,R,T,Y.White (for lower octave). Have A,S,D,F. Handle black keys (next octave).

White keys, (next octave) Left/right arrows control up/down octave range. Up/Down arrows control global velocity.

This of course only when the qwerty is on, since the keyboard is otherwise layed out for DAW key commands. That would work nicely in a pinch.

Yeseniabaraq Prenoob Joined: 08:09:05 Messages: 11 Offline I know right, it's really limited to what you can do with a qwerty. So I got myself an Alesis Q25 usb/midi keyboard controller.

It's much better then QWERTY +UI and 2,3,5,6,7 lol.I think those are the only keys available. Anyhow, now that I have the midi controller. I'm trying to learn something else. I recorded some sounds with the midi controller but I don't know how to make multiple tracks, can anyone help me with that?

By tracks I mean, for example. I used the accordian on the midi and created a beat with it, and I am trying to creat other beats to play together for like drums, piano, guitar, bass. Anthony Joseph Salon. know what I mean? So far I can only play one track at a time and when i drop in another track it changes the sound of my first beat, hope you understand what I am trying to say here Untitled.jpg Description if I start another track underneath that one it changes the sound of the one above too.

You’ll see a new track created. I will tell you there are a ton of people much better at this than me, and there are tutorials right here at the Presonus website, or try here Nice instruction on adding instruments: Multiple tutorials: Good you got a controller as that is the real way to get serious about what you are creating. It’s more expressive to use a real controller that inputs dynamic velocity (for independent volume and timbre of keys) than doodling around with a one octave keyboard.

Sounds like you’re off to a good start. Be patient and have fun. You’re using a DAW that will make creating easier for you, as I see it.

Some Mackie controls were made for Logic- Logic Control. There have been updates to increase universality, such as the 2.x ones. Let's proceed as if you have an actual Mackie: In DP- Mixer, make sure tracks are in Automation record AND playback- OR Mix Mode completely off. Using Playback only will make the faders resist and/or snap to the most recently recorded snapshot data or setting.

Because you can move the faders but they snap back, it sounds like your sequence has data- meaning that you are fighting the automation.Moving the faders, either with mix mode OFF or with automation record/playback OFF, should let you playback as you will.

If you are on 2.1.0, I would bet money this is your problem. This is exactly what mine was doing before I updated.

The latest version is 2.1.2, here: To do the update, you have to create a DP project and load the MIDI file from Mackie's website into it - just create a MIDI track and drag the MIDI file from their site to that track in Tracks Overview of Sequence Editor. Here are the instructions from the Mackie update file: 1.Make sure your controller is plugged into the computer via MIDI and communicating with your preferred audio software application. 2.Disable the Mackie Control/Logic Control as a MIDI controller device in the control surface setup section of your audio software application. 3.Disable MTC, MMC, MIDI Clock, MIDI Metronome, or any other MIDI signals being sent by your DAW. 4.Import the MIDI file you just downloaded from the Mackie web site into your audio software application, and make sure the Mackie Control/Logic Control is the target MIDI device on channel one. 5.Turn off the power of the Mackie Control/Logic Control. 6.Hold down the REC RDY buttons on channels 1 and 2 and the SELECT button on channel 1 as you turn the power on.

This will put the Mackie Control/Logic Control into the Boot Loader Mode. 7.Once in the Boot Loader Mode, simply play back the MIDI file in its entirety from your audio software application. While the MIDI file is playing, you should see a series of dots parade across the display.

If you do not see the dancing dots, restart at step 1. 8.Once the MIDI file has played through to the end (you'll know when), hit STOP in your audio software application. The controller will restart automatically. 9.Select the desired mode of operation (Mackie Control or Logic Control). 10.Apply the appropriate overlay to the master section ••“ you••™re done.

If you want to change the operating modeat any time, here's what you need to do: 1.Turn off the power of the Mackie Control/Logic Control. 2.Hold down the SELECT buttons on channels 1 and 2 as you turn the power on. This will enter the Mackie Control/Logic Control Mode Selection Dialog on the display. 3.Select the desired mode of operation - Mackie Control or Logic Control (or HUI, if the Mackie Control Universal Upgrade was purchased and installed). 4.Apply the appropriate overlay to the master section ••“ you••™re done.

Once an operating mode has been selected, the controller will continue to boot up into that mode unless you choose to change the mode of operation as described above.
