Re: further questions about midi sync.



I never owned a Machinedrum but I was a MONOMACHINE
owner and there is way to get into the settings and
tell it what midi channels to listen to for what
tracks.  I think you can also tell tracks to transmit
or not.  (Sorry, a while ago I ditched hardware and
I'm now all software for sequences Yay Micro Tonic!)

I think the key to doing what you want is making sure
your devices are set up to listen to the channels you
want them to (or none and they'll still hear sync if
they're set up as a slave) and ingore the channels you
don't want them to.  Takes a bit of set up but once
you figure it out you should be able to get what you
want.

As far as switching sync sources, I've always found it
too problematic and I mostly just use my sequencer as
clock source.  If you want to start without the
sequence use a mixer to monitor your sequence in
headphones while you record and then bring in the
sequence track when ever you see fit.  Either that or
I'd start with a synth sound that had a rhythmic
element or guitar with a synced effect and that can
act like a metronome.
