Hey dude I dont know if you got this worked out yet or not but it is sooo easy to write drum songs in nuendo on the LM7. And the drum sounds are good.

In case you havent got there yet, you grab yr pencil and and draw a track the same length of yr song. Then you click edit list in pane on yr midi track and it brings up a grid. Then you just put dots where you want yr drums to go.
If you use the snap function and turn yr time line into bars and beats it makes it way easier. Use the quantize function to allow you to get the hits in the right place.
Copy and paste verses and choruses.I think you own drumagog it can help with the stiffy.

I think i touched on everything but if you need more detail just say the word. Ill write you a book like you did for me.

I didn't see your message, you should post your own topic.

Easy.

Plug it in, in to out, in to out.

Send midi clock to it on the transport menu in cubase, midi sync.

Tell the sr to respond to midi clock in its menu's.

And your good to go. Set up a track and record the midi output of the sr, then rearrange it and play it back on the sr or send it to a VSTi or whatever.
