Midi playback problem

Midi playback problem

2001-10-29 by kgilani@earthlink.net

On my AN1x,  I can't playback complex midi Arps or sequences on one track of
my software sequencer properly.
Does this have to do with lack of multitimbrality of AN1x?
I do can record and playback simpler pads etc !

Any idea guys

Thanx

I think you mean polyphony here...try turning off unison to up your poly. You should be able to play 5 notes at the same time on one track at any time.

I put Mode to poly and layer to single. T-channel to 3, receive-channel to
1. And in logic put as track channel 1. I also tried all different channel
setting. 
But still, the playback comes kinda out of sync.

Any idea?

You mean it's stuttering/not tight? That's your sequencer, your midi-interface or your cabling...most likely...if your arp is on it can be that you should set tempo to midi...

From your problem description I believe you are trying to record the 
MIDI notes transmitted from the AN1x Arp/Seq into Logic and then have 
Logic playback those notes - triggering the AN1x. I'm guessing that the 
Arp/Seq for the AN1x Voice is still set to 'ON' when Logic begins 
playback of the Arp pattern previously recorded and what you are 
experiencing is double note events being triggered from both Logic and 
the internal Arp/Seq of the AN1x. I'd suggest you turn Arp/Seq 'OFF' 
for the AN1x and resave the selected voice before beginning playback of 
the recorded track from Logic.

As an alternative to recording the output of the AN1x Arp/Seq into 
Logic, you could simply sync the AN1x Arp/Seq to MIDI Clock transmitted 
by Logic and simply record the root notes into Logic (not the output 
from tha Arp/Seq) and allow the AN1x Arp/Seq to trigger off playback 
from Logic. Make sense? The obvious limitation of this approach being 
that you can't easily rechannel the Arp/Seq data to another sound 
module as you could by recording the Arp/Seq output into Logic. Give 
and take.

regards,

Jon
