Hello:

I understand the two concepts: Technics format and SMF, they are different indeed.

Here's the road block. It's great that Technics has the APC/SMF convert feature. But it's not complete.

When recording using the APC and panel memories, the instruments and their vol are not saved in the sequencer anywhere. So when the APC/SMF convert is use, it has no way of telling what instruments were changed to the corresponding panel memory buttons.

What is needed, is when the panel memory buttons are used during an APC record, that it saves the sounds and vol in that track. If R1 then track one, when the panel memory button is pressed (say in measure 20) and it is a flute, track one (R1) should then show flute with its vol setting in measure 20, the control track should still show the panel memory. Having this info on track one (R1), the APC/SMF convert can take that info and use it to change the sounds.

To me, why have APC/SMF convert if it can't have the different sound changes when using the panel memory buttons. Of course one could spend extra time manually entering it, but G-Wiz, that is very time consuming...
