Hi @wessismore
There is a different answer depending on which DAW you are using:
Some DAW allow you to route MIDI to another channel and record the notes there (which records the chords notes and note the trigger notes), Studio One for example:
To control external instruments within Studio One you must use Scaler as a VST plugin and route Scaler’s MIDI output onto the track of the instrument you wish to control.
How-To
Load Scaler VST onto an instrument track and the instrument you wish to control on a second track.
[StudioOne3-1]
Drag the track window down to show all the MIDI selection boxes.
[StudioOne3-2]
In the MIDI input section, select Scaler as the “Instrument Input” and select MIDI Output 1 as the “Instrument Channe…
Other DAW might have a way to capture or “freeze” the MIDI, this is the case in Logic for example:
I load a chord set and start playing chord progressions, example:
[22%20PM]
When I have something I like I hit record on Logic, the region looks like this:
[45%20PM]
All good until I want to see the chord’s actual MIDI notes in my region. Now I have to drag chosen chords to make a new chord set and use the export MIDI button to drag MIDI file to my region:
[00%20PM]
This gives me all chord notes but that’s not my performance, its all same length. I have to work a lot with this to get that …
