GW8 sequencer not recording externally triggered note on/not

[RamboMonkey]

Hi all,

I'm using an external controller (Yamaha CP33) to trigger sounds from my GW8. When trying to record a song, however, it's as if the GW isn't recording the externally triggered/generated note on/off info - I go into song record mode, set (eg) strings on Track1, set the CP to transmit on ch. 1, and start recording. I can hear what I'm playing, while playing it, but when I select playback, there's...... nothing.

Can anyone suggest what's up? I find it strange that the GW's sequencer wouldn't record the note on/off info that it's clearly receiving, and really hope that that's not the case.

I'd really appreciate any advice/workaround you guys can offer.

Thanks,

RM.

In case you're all about to hit "reply" - Roland have been in touch to say that the GW8 can only make a multitrack midi recording from the internal keyboard.
