MIDI / Sampler question

gothian	Date: September 22, 2005 @ 1:47 PM We want to incorporate some sounds in our tracks, for example some bells sounds and stuff like that in the middle of the songs. Rush comes to my mind, they use this a lot and the guitar player activates them with pedals. I just bought the Boss GT-8 and it comes with a MIDI connection, could anyone help me telling me what do I need in order to do that? Thanks a lot my guitar phellaz

GeneHilbert	Date: September 28, 2005 @ 12:00 PM Dude……. All of that should be in the manual....... You need to read that first. If there is a recorder in that unit then you load or record whatever sample you want to hear........ then assign a midi channel and/or patch no. to it - or assign a pedal trigger. Unless you have that unit attached to a sequencer or computer – all functions will remain internal. I'm assuming a lot here having never had one of those - but this is the most likely method.
gothian	Date: September 28, 2005 @ 12:22 PM The GT-8 can't record anything, I would have to do everything in external devices. I was thinking in my lap-top, but I don't want to carry my lap-top to every gig we have. A friend of mine told me that I have to buy 2 things, a sampler and a MIDI device, depending on the size of those 2 things it might be better to use the lap-top..... Oh crap, I'm really lost. Ok if I use the lap-top, could anyone recomend me a software to use?
imemine	Date: September 28, 2005 @ 12:39 PM Gothian, I’m not sure but I don’t think that the GT-8 is an actual midi controller that it appears to be what your question is regarding. I think that those connections are for syncing things like tremolo, delay etc. with a sequencers time clock. Not sure though because I’m still using the ME-33 and I couldn’t get the manual to download from the BOSS site.
gothian	Date: September 28, 2005 @ 2:33 PM Well.... although I read the manual, I will read it again today... I will tell you tomorrow what it says, thanks a lot
