Mark, I also don't have the Dr5Edit yet, although I'm pretty close of buying it (I'm waiting for the price to go down :-)) I haven't had the need to transfer...
Hi Mark, Claudio is right. The DR-5 doesn't accept standard MIDI files as input - although the internal formats are so close that I'm really surprised that...
Hi Mark, When I bought my DR5, like most everyone, I didn't know what to do with it. I remember spending all one Saturday punching in the drum beat to a song...
... I looked into the same thing. But after looking closer at the DREdit program, it's not worth it! You can't really upload midi files. You have to play...
Hi Dthraco, Sorry to disagree, but the purchased version of DREdit does upload MIDI files via the "Open File" option of the "Midi Data" section of the...
Hi Dthraco, You don't record the MIDI file into Dr5Edit or the DR-5. Here's the sequence of steps (you'll need to use some imagination here) : 1. Click the...
... WTF? I got an e-mail and replied. It must have been sent to the forum. I was never e-mailed, or could find that DREdit could import midi files. If I knew...
Go the files section on the left and click on my folder (Pete Wilson), download the creedence medley and load it into your dr5 via dr5doc if you don't have...
Just a small remark, you have to purchase Dr5Edit Version 3.0 The evaluation Version 4.0 in the files section dosen't support midi import, same for Dr5Doc. ...
Hello, If I own a Boss Dr-5 and the Boss Br-532 what are the most basic procedures I can do with these things and MIDI? I am sure this a painfully pedestrian...
Got most functiuons figured out now except dump procedures. Memory is almost full. I downloaded dr5doc. How do I go about transferring dr5 to doc and vice...
I have a yamaha keyboard connected to record instrument tracks. Works great except that in standard modes, my keyboard sustain pedal holds the notes just fine,...
What do I need to connect my DR-5 to my newer Dell Desktop computer. I don't believe I have midi inputs on the computer, only a USB port. What do I need as ...
Lynn, Most computers don't have MIDI interfaces. The simplest connection is through a Joystick/MIDI interface using the Joystick port on your sound card (some...
Stephen: Thanks for your help. Is what you are describing a "USB Port" that I will install in my computer, or is it something that I will use to contect to...
Lynn, These devices simply plug into any available existing USB port on your computer. Stephen M. Golden smgolden @ iname . com (remove the spaces for direct...
Hi everyone, I've aquired a used DR-5, and either I'm an idiot, or the thing is busted. I'm not sure if it's actually the problem, but the "enter" key seems...
Hi anata_bc, Have you tried pressing Shift and PTN at the same time, then releasing and using the Tempo/Data knob to dial in a wanted pattern? After that, you...
Hi, thanks for the response! Yeah I have no problem playing the pre- written patters, but in trying to write new ones is where I have trouble. After I've...
Hi Dave, You are in the User pattern section (>199), correct? I don't have much experience here because I usually write patterns in CakeWalk and then upload...
... I'm new to the Dr-5 also. Found that when you wish to write a new pattern, it seems to leave you hanging as you said. Just press shift/erase and pattern...
I finally get the owners manual for my dr5 and in it it says nothing about connecting the dr5 directly to the computer but to go through a sequencer. I see...
I recorded a midi drum track into Sonar using my DR5. When I play it back in Sonar (not back through the DR5) it sounds terrible. Basically, every drum is just...
Marty - Maybe I'm making things too hard. If you can send to the DR5 via DR5Edit, then I could do the reverse and upload directly from Edit to Sonar.?? But how...
Hi Anyone sussed out how to "reset all controllers" on the DR5 via a PC sequencer ? I am using "Cakewalk" software sequencer and tryng to send controller 121...
My machine reboots when I play a pattern or song. The only error message that appears after the reboot(which appears when I first turn it on anyways) is...
Hi Brad, I too have Sonar and have that same problem. When I record back to it from DR5 the instruments change. Drums seem to shift an octave out, or...
Helen, A sequencer is a device that records MIDI information for playback. Sequencers can "play" songs previously recorded into them leaving you free to play...
I can't say for certain, but I suspect the internal battery (coin-style lithium) is running low. Unless you're technically inclined, you should take your DR-5...
