Subject: MIDI-sync problem

From: tomfinegan@...

Hello, fellow list-members, i found this today on the sonicstate.com
review site for the AN1x.
Someone has an idea, how to fix his problem, maybe?

Regards, Tom

Help! I'm not having any success getting the AN1X to sync to our
drummer's Roland DR-770 drum machine. I've gotten to the point where
the drum machine is triggering the AN1x, but it's controlling what
notes are being played and overriding the AN1X's
arppegiations/patterns. I also don't want the drum machine sending
out Note On messages. All I want is the tempos to be synced, so I can
turn on and off arps/patterns when I want to. I've been over both
manuals, and stared at the MIDI implementation chart for the AN1X,
but have no idea how to use it, as I'm a live player who hasn't used
MIDI at all up to this point. I'm leaving for a tour Thursday
afternoon. Several of you on this list were kind enough to help me
with downloading sounds - thank you all very much! - and a little
further assistance with this problem should set me straight. Please
email me - I know it can't be that hard to do! I seems like such a
basic idea, I'm amazed the manuals don't make it clear. Thanks a lot!
