external audio in Andromeda

external audio in Andromeda

2004-02-01 by jeffkissinger

The manual says routing into voice 15 or 16 that all the keyboard,
filter, mods etc are bypassed for a clean signal in.  This does not
seem to be working on my Andromeda as I must hold a key to heard the
incoming signal.  What am I doing wrong?   What I would like is to
have a clean drum beat coming in while I noodle on the A6.

Thanks,,,Jeff

Jeff,

This sounds like typical behavior to me.. YOu must trigger a midi note  to pass the 
audio through the A6.. Granted I haven't had my A6 for very long, but I don have a Q 
and XT and you must do this on those as well..


There may be a way to defeat it, or set the envelope to an extremely long release 
time. This would allow the audio to pass through after a single note on..

Josh,

Yeah, you are right, i set the env to hold and all is cool, but the
manual mislead me to think twas possible.  You have an XT??!, man I
want one of those!  I tried to trade this dude a micro q and evolver
for the keyboard version, but he had already sold it.   I have a fizmo
and I hear they are similar to the xt, do you think it would be too
much overlap?

I don't know anythng about the fizmo, but the Q can sound very similar to the XT. It 
doesn't have as many wavetables, but it pretty much has everything else. I have 
always thought there was a bit of overlap between the Q and XT, but I wouldn't wanna 
part with either of them..=)
