Nikolaj Maack Bielefeld Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Hello My name is Nikolaj and I'm new to this forum. I am very seriously considering purchasing the PX-5S, but I just have one question. I am a Pro Tools user and I am curious if I will be able to use the sounds of the keyboardwithin this DAW?? To clarify: I am aware that I will be able to record it as audio, but that's notreally what I'm looking for since I would like to have the ability to quantize, remove wrong notes,change melody and stuff like that after I record it. And change tempo... I think I have made myself clear, and I hope that someone will be able to answer Have a good day!

Nikolaj Maack Bielefeld Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 Oh, one last question... If the above is possible, will it then be possible to have multiple instrument-tracks in Pro Tools all using the PX-5S as their soundsource?

maarkr Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 i believe you may need an .ins file for the DAW. You can do most anything in the DAW for midi files, but the ins file allows you to assign the synth patches in the DAW as output. Of course, you can always use the DAW to record your midi and edit it and use a softsynth to play it back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikolaj Maack Bielefeld Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 Hello maarkr, thanks for your answer Not sure I understand it though, I'm not that experienced. Could you, (or someone else), maybe elaborate a bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Display Name Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Yes you can use the PX-5S as a sound module. You can have up to 16 different sounds going at once with a total of 256 notes total - so you can get a lot going. I don't use Pro Tools so I don't know the specifics - you may want to ask about setting up Pro Tools in the Avid Forums: http://duc.avid.com/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikolaj Maack Bielefeld Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 Cool, good to know Scott!! Will try to ask in the Avid forums Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msk385 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Nikolaj, I have bee trying to do the same thing. Any luck with an answer. Utilizing the stage settings as sounds would be great. I like the piano sound of the px5 much better than some of the daws I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Muscara Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 It's kind of a two-round-trip process. First, you'd record the MIDI data in your DAW, likely using the PX-5S as your controller. That MIDI data can be edited, quantized, tempo changed, etc. Use that MIDI data to "play" the PX-5S and you'll hear the great sound(s) from it. Once you have that edited to your liking, you can record the PX-5S as an audio track in your DAW using the MIDI track to play it. After you record it, you may have to nudge it slightly due to the delay from DAW-PX-5S-DAW in order to get it to line up with any other tracks, but first listen and see. One more thing. Personally, I'd record the MIDI and the audio from the PX-5S in the first pass. Having that audio track lets you make sure recording the audio is working, and it gives you a rough idea of what you started with. You can simply mute it when you don't want it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
