Drambo - How to record MIDI to Track 2 from Track 1?

EdZABEdZAB
in Support and Feedback

I've got a setup in Drambo where I am generating MIDI output from Track 1 and routing it to Track 2. Placing an instrument on Track 2 and having it receive the incoming MIDI works fine (it plays the MIDI notes), so it's definitely receiving, but I want to record the MIDI to the pattern sequencer. When I try using the record button, nothing gets recorded on Track 2.

    Hi. Have you tried routing the Track 1 MIDI output to "MIDI Feedback", and receiving the Track 2 MIDI from MIDI Feedback? These are in the track Settings; tap on the track header. I believe that's meant to make the MIDI appear as if it comes from an external source, which is required to be able to record it. Originally, we had to use another app to receive the MIDI stream and reflect it back to Drambo. MIDI Feedback was created to replace this work-around.

    @uncledave - I did not, but just tried now, and it works perfectly, thank you 👍

    If anyone is interested in seeing screenshots of the working setup, let me know and I'll throw some up. It's also possible that Leo over at SoundForMore covered this type of setup. If I find a video that covers it, I'll post the link.

    It can’t hurt to do it - some people are visual learners, so it might click quickly with them.

    I’m interested! 🙏🏽

    Here are the screenshots showing the MIDI Output module loaded at the end of Track 1 (with Channel 1 selected for output) and the settings for Track 2 for the MIDI Input. This may not be the optimal setting for all situations, but it works in this simple scenario.

    You can avoid the feedback routing by using sub tracks. Go into the first track and simply add a "track" module. You can then route Midi directly into the sub track. I'm not sure about Sequencer recording. You will probably have to either have the sub track in focus in order to record, or use the Sequencer module.
