Hello Bad Mister,
Thanks for your professional support.
Referring to my earlier post I propose a first item :
STARTING FROM SCRATCH FOR A COMPLETE LIVE-PERFORMANCE WITH MOTIF & VST (NO PLAY-BACK)
I have Motif XS, Classic, ES-rack and VST Kontakt, Cubase, Macbook
Thanks for your tutorial for setting up a GM-reset :
http://www.motifator.com/index.php/support/view/a_short_tutorial_creating_proper_gm_files
I searched for a good example : Wedding March (Mendelsohn)…Everybody knows this song I presume ???
Should be played live completely by myself, but I need the configuration of all instruments to be ready at hand.
Instruments which I like to use (all on different channels : MSB,LSB, PC,Controllers, etc….)
- Upper manual (limited note-range):
-Motif XS St-Pauls Cathedral
-VST Kontakt organ
- Medium manual (chords-limited note-range)
-Motif organ & strings
- Pedal (limited note-range)
-Motif
-VST Kontakt
I know exactly the note limits for each channel.
How do I play this today ?
-Using Cubase I have to configure every instrument on several tracks (using your proposal for reset&controllers)
-When I want to start I have to load the song in Cubase and trigger the sequence only for 1 measure.
-Then we hope that everything is OK
This is a lot of hazzle to start the song live, but if it works and the sound is great ----compliments to the sound engineers !!!!
You gave me a hint to load different songs in Cubase and then to hit the one I want, but I have first to scroll through the first measure I understood, or ?
I will try this tomorrow...
This example is typical for playing everything live: the sequencer is only needed for starting up all instruments in the desired configuration.
To record this on forehand is ridiculous as I can manage all instruments and influence the tempo live & solo volume, so I have everything in my own hands
And….very important : the sounds are great and a big pleasure to play !
Just to know if this is the best method.
Do I have alternatives which are faster and more stable ?
I come back with another item….
Thanks again

I'm not clear on what you are envisioning here - what does "Upper manual" and "Medium manual" mean and "Pedal mean"? I guess you are trying to recreate a Pipe organ but it is not at all clear from what you wrote what you intend to be playing. Are you playing one keyboard or what?
Assume I don't know what you are trying to do, cause I don't?
And you will need to know the capabilities of Kontakt - I know nothing about that software at all, sorry.

Hello,
I think we have a missing link about the song : Wedding March (Mendelsohn)
should explain everything, if you are willing to listen.

If you recognize the song, then you must have a lot of inspiration on handling this in MOTIFs.
And, THAT WAS THE QUESTION
Thanks

?
Your link sends me nowhere
🙁
Was my question strange? Are you envisioning playing one keyboard or on multiple sets of keys?
