The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hi Group,

I have not been using midi with my AN1x for a long time and last time when I
used it was in a different computer together with another midi interface, so
I really cannot tell is my current midi interface working ok.

The problem is that when I connect midi cable to midi out, immediately the
activity led starts to blink like crazy and AN1x is not transmitting any
midi data, not even midi notes. Midi in is working normally. Anyone has any
ideas where to start to track this problem down?



Cheers,
TimoS

Hello Timo,

This is a non-problem.  The AN1x generates an Active Sensing pulse 
which is part of the MIDI specification.  It in no way interferes 
with the transmission or reception of MIDI events to/from your AN1x 
or other software and hardware devices.  At worst, it's simply an 
annoyance to see a flashing red light on your MIDI Interface ;-)
