Automatically write MIDI files of everything you play

Hi,

sequencers, as I know them, work with a metronome to record key strokes precisely. That what bothers me also. My Kawai CN31 has a recording function which works independently from a metronome or click track. That's something I would like to have in my PC, too.

So I am also looking for a 'simple' recorder.

This would be a nice feature. Could be selected from the Options menu: Always record a midi file.

My belated Ensoniq ZR-76 had this. It only saved a few seconds of time, but that was good. It meant that you could always just sit down and play without taking the time to press Record. Seems like such a small thing, but it was sweet.

But Ensoniq always was sweet. The best piano sounds of the time, the best interface for editing sounds and recording. I bought a KS-32 a few months ago, and I'm using it for my main controller now. The internal sounds, once edited, are still great. Many of the piano presets sound distant and terrible, by today's standards, since it only had about 3 megs of ROM, but it gives you much, much control over the amp and filter envelopes, and lets you stack multiple instances of any multisample, so you can create layers with different filter settings. The result is nothing like the presets. What a terrible shame that they went under. Imagine a keyboard designed by Modartt and Ensoniq. But I digress.

1+ for letting us have an option to always record a midi file.

I've never heard the TS12 piano. Do you have an mp3 that you could post that shows the piano in an exposed setting?

Weren't the TS10 and TS12 considered fairly astonishing at the time? An amazing 6 megs devoted to just the piano? (At a time when many keyboards had about 6-10 megs of ROM for all of the sounds.) It lets you load samples, too, doesn't it? But slowly?
