Dp4 & Roland Jv Issue, Can I separate rythym parts? Options

[ssagala]

Dear DP4 users,

I have a roland jv1080 & and MPC2000. I rcently purchased a mac & DP4 to do more audio work, but since I started out with it, I do most of my midi sequencing on the MPC. When it comes time, I dump the entire sequence into DP4 to further manipulate stuff. Here is my issue: anyone who has a roland module knows that all drum parts are all on channel 10. As a result when I record a sequence into DP4 I get all the midi notes channel 10 is emmiting which happen to be my entire drum track. I would like to be able to treat each drum part separatly (i.e a track for the snare, one for the kick etc) and apply effects on individual drum tracks rather than the whole group. Is there any way to separate them once they are in the sequencer?
A more generic version of this question is, Is there any way to separate a midi track into a series of tracks based on the trriggered notes?

The only way round that I can think of is to mute indiviual notes and record say 10 drum tracks one at a time, which would be a pain. (life is supposed to be made easier by computers, right )

Thanks for your help.

Well, I use an older version of cubase, but I'll assume DP is as midi capable. I"ve had the same frustration with drums always chained to channel 10. My sequencer allows me to split midi tracks up based on a note range, so you set up a note range of say c3 to c3 (one note, say the bass drum), and you split up the drum track like this. A bit of a pain, and you still end up with all the tracks on one midi channel. (or you can mute them on the mpc and record them in one at a time as you say) You can control midi velocity individually, but if you use midi volume, ALL the drum tracks respond since they are all still on channel 10 on the roland. This is true even if you use your drum editor functionality inside DP.
What I found is easier is just commiting to a mix, and making the drums into a stereo audio track, or multiple audio tracks. Often in my songs there is repitition so I can record a section and copy it around. Maybe do a seperate bass drum, snare drum, then group the other percussion and perhaps seperate the cymbals for a few drum tracks, some control, like groups on a mixer.
BUT keep the midi data, later you can rerecord a section if you need to tweak or substitue a sound.
I started out recording on analog tape and it wasn't always 24 tracks. 4, then 8. You just had to decide, and that's not always a bad thing. I also worked in 24track tape based studios and we had maybe a mic on every drum. But you still worked up a general mix and grouped tracks so as not to go nuts trying to ride every single drum fader. You go in and knock up a fill in the mix or whatnot as y ou go along.
With midi...Now you have the option of keeping the midi, and going back later if you change your mind. Even with your problem, things are so good now....
