Asunto: [AN1x-list] problem with midi synch for the arpeg and seq function


This should be an easy fix, but here's what's going on.
I have a midi clock signal from either cakewalk or my 505 going into 
the AN1x.  In order to play a sequence on the anx i reduce the midi 
tempo switch all the way down until it reads "midi".  Now if press 
any of the keys the arp or seq I get a single note, but no sequence.  

Yes i have the  receive channel set to the correct setting, (not that 
it should matter for a clock signal)

The only way i can get it to work is by shutting off the power and 
restarting.  The settings remain, but now i can play a sequence in 
time.

Has anyone had this problem?  Is there a work around?

Thanks

Gerry

That's normal behaviour for the AN1x. When you set the AN1x to 
synchronize to MIDI Clock the AN1x has to be receiving the MIDI Clock 
signal for the ARP/SEQ to trigger at Note On. Truth be told, I find it 
annoying behavior too :-/ Same goes for the fact the ARP/SEQ won't 
trigger with LOCAL=OFF. *sigh*

If I'm not mistaken, Ed has a pet peeve that there is no provision to 
stop/start the ARP/SEQ Hold from an external controller (other than the 
front panel button.) On the plus side, at least each scene in a voice 
can have seperate trigger options - that lets you create splits or 
layers with some flexibility. Overall, I like the ARP/SEQ - but Yamaha 
did overlook a couple of "niceties", IMO.

After you changed the tempor to MIDI, and before powering off, did you 
*save* your AN1x Voice? Remember, the tempo parameter is saved at the 
voice level - NOT globally. From your description I would hazard a 
guess that the ARP/SEQ is triggering at the previous tempo not to MIDI 
clock - easy enough to double check.

Why can't you control the arp/seq externally?  Do it via sysex.

Yes, that's an idea but that's not quite the solution in mind.  A 
physical controller - best a MIDI CC assiginment to FC (Foot 
Controller) is whats needed - not SysEx. Furthermore, MIDI CC is much 
more efficient than SysEx which eats up a considerable amount of MIDI 
bandwidth - and the AN1x is already top heavy when it comes to SysEx ;-

Heavy on the Sysex, Yeah, Don't I f@*king know it, I know haven't
released them yet, I will as soon as Yamaha have them, but I programmed
10 VST 5 scripts to control the An1x internally, that was heavy going
especially as the Scripting isn't fully functional yet (Some commands
don't work in VST 5.01)

I do know that sysex is heavy on midi bandwidth, but I thought you had
already explored the CC route, I have been studying the An1x Sysex data
and the only way to change arp/Seq parameters is Via sysex, it is the
only solution.

See ya,

Hey Reggie,

You havent released the scripts yet ?

Id be interested to try them once they are.

I must apologise for their lateness, Ralph thought I was trying to get
people to beg for them, but Due to some unforeseen circumstances I am
not yet able to release them, but please bear with me, It will be very
soon, I am a little frustrated myself at the situation.  I don't know
where I heard it, But VST 5.02 will be released at the end of this
coming week (19th Jan), Hopefully there is an update to the Midi Track
Mixer which will allow me to refine the scripts further, Don't worry
though, I'll release the scripts then rewrite them with the extra
functions!!

Sorry but what is CC route and MIDI CC?
 
Thanks!!!

In this case you could substitute route for options, that might
translate better, it isn't really anything to worry about.

And CC's are Continuos Controllers, they are a way of controlling
various functions on a synth, You can also use programmable Midi
Controllers (a Box with Faders or knobs) to send CCs or Draw them into
your midi sequencer to do volume fades and Filter sweeps or control midi
Effects etc.  The AN1x allows you to assign CC's to Functions via the
Matrix and control them from the knobs on the keyboard, very nice.

Thanks, this is a nice good group, every question I've made, I allways
get the answer, thaks for all of you. I hope when I learn more do the same
with the others. :D
    
    So the Phat-boy box is a MIDI CC?
 
Thanks Reggie!!!!

No the Phat boy is a £150 UKP Hardware device that has Knobs on it that
are assigned to CC's, it has 5 or 6 preset banks that can output a lot
of CC's, there is a Specific option for PLG AN/AN1x as well, it assigns
all the knobs to the control matrix, Nice.

Reggie

So, when you asiggn controlers in the control matrix to the modulation wheel
or a knob, ribbon you are using MIDI CC and thats all. And you can also use
it to control other synthetiser or program, for example Rebirth or a VST
instrument?

Remember that MIDI CC assignments made in the Ctrl Matrix (under the 
VOICE/SCENE SETUP menu) affect only the internal tone generator - MIDI 
CC assignments made using Ctrl Device & Ctrl No. (under the UTILITY/
SETUP) menu are transmitted via the MIDI Out to external gear.
