Working with the Motif-Rack ES Arpeggios: Tips 101

Recording the output of the Motif-Rack ES arpeggio can be a bit tricky but this article will give you a few tips and tricks to ease the task. If you are working with DAW software that records audio, you may find that the easiest thing to do is to record the audio output of the Motif-Rack ES to an audio track. This is very simple and if you are not a MIDI-Jedi, is the recommended route. Typically you would send the notes (trigger notes) from your controller to the software, and route (echo) the MIDI signal to trigger the Motif-Rack ES. Then it is a simple matter to route the audio out of the Rack ES to a track of the DAW. However, those of you who want to record the MIDI data to a track so you can edit it – you will need to follow this tutorial carefully to accomplish this task. We use Cubase 5 in this tutorial but you can use whatever sequencer you prefer. The process will be similar in most DAW software, however the actual setup may be different…your mileage may vary. Enjoy.
