I'm experimenting with playing the EDP with a MIDI
keyboard right now through Cubase, especially with the SUS functions. It's
a desktop setup, and I've been streaming AM talk radio through the
mixer into the Echolpex, and feeding both channels into Cubase, which I'm
recording, along with the incoming MIDI. (I'm getting a lot of other MIDI
stuff coming into the EDP, though, which I have to figure out how to filter out
in Cubase.) One thing was kind of cool, was to use the same recorded MIDI
to continue to control the incoming radio stream. I thought it all would
be the same, but it was all different, because of the different rhythms in the
spoken word!

Subject: Re: Controlling Echoplex w/
Cubase
Thanks for the responses!
Here is what is going
on. I am going to play around and test my luck with virtually
controlling my Echoplex... I'm combing through the EDP manual and there is a
lot I haven't tried yet. There are a lot of variables I have to
contend with (duh)... so I'm not going to waste bandwidth groveling for
an answer to my problems.
Mobius: I haven't researched
this. I'm hesitant to rely on my CPU's processing power to record my
loops when playing live (Mac OSX 2GB ram). I guess I should check it out
though!! Sounds cool judging by the content of this list.
Tom -
How I do it in Cubase (sort of the same way you did it): I slave my
echoplex to a midi drum track in Cubase. Before I play I "draw" in the
midi note values to run my loops, multiply's, overdubs, etc in time with the
drums. Having some problems making it do what I want when I try to next
loop or copy a phrase into another loop. Some commands fall on deaf
virtual EDP ears and the NoteOn, NoteOff doesn't work how I think it
should.
It is truly delicious not having to do the pedal dance while
trying to play the guitar. For real.
I'm new to this, but
when I get my homework done I'll turn it in to the list and go from
there! This includes checking out Mobius. It may just be Win
compatible I don't know.
Hal: what is a FCB?
Claude: Let
me(us) know if you post your EDP drum map. I want
it!
Adam
NO, but this sounds truly
delicious...........especially as I'm about to invest in a good laptop
finally.
But if you are running an Echoplex using Cubase,
why on earth aren't you using the freeware
Mobius which is like an Echoplex on steroids (in true
stereo with very high fidelity)?
yours, Rick
done that long time ago
on cubase vst32 if you want my EDP drum map just ask I'll post it
somewhere probably not compatible with the current
versions Claude
Sounds cool, Adam. How do you do
it in Cubase?
I've done some controlling of the Echoplex within
Ableton Live by setting up midi files with notes that trigger certain
things. Then when I wanted to, I would trigger that cell in
Live.
Tom
Sure, or at least I used to do so when using an EDP. I now do
much the same with Mobius, which I have running on a separate computer. Mobius
is more flexible with regard to commands since it has a "learn" function, but
for real-time control if you're interested in that it is easy to set up an FCB
to control the EDP through C'base. I use a combination of real-time control
and sequences. Also consider the feature - I use it so much I've forgotten
what it is called in C'base - that translates incoming MIDI
messages.
