One last question bc you are smart. Can the AR be playing an internal sequence into the daw and also be used as a midi controller for daw instrument - but not triggering internal drums. Basically disable pads for internal drum sounds, but send midi - while playing…
I don’t think that’s possible. Midi is very basic on AR, and it’s linked to the internal tracks/sequences. It’s possible to send midi through Overbridge without any sounds by switching off the synthesis engine and the sample layer for each track but you can’t play separate sounds and send different midi from the same track at the same time.
I didn’t see any mention of Model:Samples reverb… I only own M:S and Digitone so I don’t know about the other machines but surprisingly M:S has the best hardware reverb I’ve heard, period.
