Is it possible to send a track to both a bus and to a midi out?

[borfo]

...like, if I've got a track that's playing slow pads (a sequence of 8 whole notes), can I send that track to a synth, but also send the track through a bus to run an arpeggiator or transpose track on the Seq?

 

I guess I could just make a bus track, and use that track to transpose two other tracks (one slow pad track and one faster arpeggio)...  Is that the typical workflow?

No, there is no direct possibility available; because of the danger for multi-hop loops which has to be detected to avoid hang-ups I haven't implemented a solution for this yet (I fear that it could consume too much CPU time).

 

I read somewhere in the forum that somebody just uses a HW loopback for this purpose: see

Thanks.  Hardware loopback is an interesting idea - I'll have to try that.  For now, the bus track running everything is working fine though.

Ok, so it seems that it works unintentionally - I hope that you won't get an endless feedback, because there is no feedback detection implemented.

Actually, it looks like FX-Duplicate could be used to do this...  Set up a track on BUS1, then use FX Dup. to duplicate the track to a MIDI out port.  I haven't tested this, but it looks like it should work.

You are right, I haven't considered this (relatively new) feature which was actually implemented for another purpose.

It should work! :)
