i have some BAD ASS loops on my keyboard :cool:
i'd like to flesh them out in a DAW, but knows how it is done.
i want to use the keyboard as a 'scratch pad' i think they call it... then transport that 4 bar loop into a DAW as midi, so i can manipulate and enhance my original loop. e.g. change velocity or certain drum hits, add extra kicks where needed, do a massive (bigger than 4 bar) chord. etc.
then i would like to add extra stuff that isn't available on the keyboard (non 808/909 kicks for example) and eventually use the DAW for automation.
then I guess when it is all done, i save the track so the keyboard no longer has to be connected...
how does that sound, is this possible? :nervous: |

Let's back up a sec
What keyboard is it, and what do you mean by loops? Does the keyboard have onboard sequencer etc? |

jdxi. yes on board sequencer.
it has its own built in soundcard or something and does audio/midi over usb. haven't got it to work yet though. |

Your only option really is to record what you've done on the keyboard as audio in your DAW.
I don't think the JDxi has multi timbral outputs so you'll only get a stereo mix from it.
It looks like it has midi over USB so you could set it up to receive midi clock from your DAW so that when you press play in the DAW the JDxi sequencer plays in time, but that doesn't solve the audio output from the keyboard still being a stereo mix.
What you could do I guess is solo each part in the JDxi, hit play on the DAW and record each individual part as audio. |

that's what i was wanting to do... didn't know there was an alternative. there are only 4 parts anyway. 2 digital synths, 1 analogue synth and the drums.
plus i suppose each of the drums would have be to 'recorded' separately also?
i tried it last night, but when i play connected to the DAW, the song, synth or whatever is playing from the keyboard plays twice. like 2 songs playing at once... one a tiny bit of of sync, like a delay or something.
tried different settings midi thru, local switch off etc, couldn't fix it. |

You're probably monitoring the JDxi in two channels, or depending on your interface you might be monitoring it in DAW and also directly from the interface too.
There will be latency on the recorded audio, but it's just a matter of lining it back up with your DAW afterwards. |
