KitesThere is no MIDI control available on this unit, however, you can obviously run direct into the unit from your MIDI controller if it has the appropriate outputs.
These units are designed for recording and tracking, not for control of other devices. Utilizing your software as a control for programming and then feeding into the board is an option as well. With multitrack recorders, the beauty of them is in their simplicity. Signal in, track, record, layer, overdub, repeat; it is a work horse, but not a trick pony.
Hope that was helpful and please feel free to post any other questions you may have.
