This post from a week or two okay explains what I’m doing, after trying a bunch of things:
In the video, I’m using MIDI to Start, Stop, New Part and Change Part. I work directly with Aeros to Record Track and return to Play mode only (or overdub, but I don’t do any of those in this song). I just based it on what I found the MIDI implementation to be currently best at. There were certainly ideas I left on the table because of the MIDI implementation, but I just gotta get on with it.
I started learning MIDI in like 89/90 when I got my first couple pieces of guitar gear that supported it (Alesis Quadraverb perhaps) and then, as a complete separate endeavor, Cakewalk on the PC to do some music composition.
Honestly, I figured it out back then mostly by reading the MIDI Implementation Charts that would appear in the back of product manuals for the gear I was buying or was interested in. I learned later that the challenge isn’t so much MIDI itself … it’s not all that deep of a spec to figure out … but instead it’s deciding what you want to do with it, or figuring out if the gear supports what you want to do, because in the end that’s really what matters.
