Yamaha MM6 plus Midi Sequencer (muse, rosegarden)
Posted: Fri Sep 14, 2012 1:42 pm
Anyone have a Yamaha MM6? I do, and it seems to be a bit handicapped as a midi controller and playback device, at least when working with Rosegarden and Muse.
I need to be able to record program change and sysex information at the start of the track, which seems difficult with both sequencers. Like many keyboards, the MM6 has a command that will blast all of the system performance stuff (program changes and sysex) for this purpose. With both Rosegarden and Muse, I don't know of a way to record this at the start of the track without rolling the sequencer. Also, on Rosegarden, not everything seems to make it through, or the on-screen configuration options (like choosing your patch) seems to interfere. So I'm unable to close down my system, come back, and have my proper keyboard patches loaded up when I reload Rosegarden. I have similar trouble with Muse. I am able to record a short sequence on the MM6 internally, save the midi file to a flash drive, import it into Muse, and then have the appropriate information saved/played back, so I know it's possible. I just need the process to do this directly through the midi cable, because it sucks having to do the copy to flash drive thing.
Tips welcome! Thanks.
