Using the sounds of the PX-5S within a DAW


Recommended Posts

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 keyboard

within this DAW?? To clarify: I am aware that I will be able to record it as audio, but that's not

really 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!

 

Regards Nikolaj

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.

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.
