Looking to find a way to slave CW to my Yamaha CVP 107 Clainova sequencer keyboard adn record multiple midi channels to CW. I do a lot of recording on the Clav with drums, bass, strings, etc. In the past I've been able to take the mix output as audio stereo tracks and then d overdubs (used a Zoom R8 but wanting to switch to CW). I'd like to record those tracks directly into separate midi tracks on CW to do editing, quantizing, etc. Once the backing track is recorded, I want to be able to record additional keyboard overdubs, using the transport on the keyboard to start CW to keep in sync and not be reaching all over the room. The Clav has 16 midi tracks built in, with built in accompaniment on 9-16. Unfortunately, the keyboard is 20+ years old, but MIDI hasn't changed that much, I hope.
A related question is how do I record the native MIDI sounds from my Clav to a MIDI track in CW? The Clav has 200+ built in sounds (Yamaha XG) which I'd love to use and not have to use a plug in every time. I believe a video I saw recently showed a way to create a midi track and a companion audio track. The midi track just sent the data, and the audio track recorded the audio output of the keyboard sound module. Any ideas?
