How to record multiple MIDI tracks simultaneously in Waveform13

[M-J-S]

Trying to record several MIDI tracks from an external sequencer into Waveform13Pro simultaneously. Can't seem to be able to "Arm" multiple MIDI tracks to record, all at once. Suggestions?

You should repost this in the Tracktion forum here at KVR for best results--probably most people who can comment won't see this here.

I guess a question may be - how are you trying to arm multiple MIDI tracks? Are you having problems ARMING them, or the fact that you can't select the single input device on multiple tracks at the same time?

If you DID manage to have that MIDI device on several tracks, remember by default you will get all MIDI channels recorded onto each of the tracks, unless you filter them on input.

If you plan to do this often, you might want to consider creating "virtual midi devices" based on that particular sequencer or device. Call it, say, MIDI10 or DRUMS; and that input device then allows ONLY channel 10. That way, you have a separate device you can select as input when recording, that would ONLY record MIDI channel 10. Repeat for each channel you want to use.

This works nicely for things like keyboard with pads, so your pads come in on one channel, and the actual keys on another (you have to create it as well; call that virtual device KEYS and allow all but channel 10, for instance, or allow only default (i.e. channel 1).
