Constant MIDI flow

Constant MIDI flow

2002-01-22 by erik_magrini@Baxter.com


Not a big deal, my CS2x sends out MIDI sensing commands (think that's what they're called) while idle, but like you Cubase doesn't. It's all due to the gear you've got connected to the XL-7, and should affect it at all, perfectly normal.

One thing I forgot to mention: I noticed the mp-7 receiving a
constant midiflow when I wanted to record a pattern - even if
cakewalk stopped, the red light of the mp-7 midi-in was flickering
all the way. When I changed to cubase 5, the midi signal was received
properly - say: light on when a signal came in. Strange, isn´t it?

rEalm,

There's indeed no harm done, but it isn't due to the connected gear.

I have a "dead" midi keyboard which transmits no signals of it's own. 
Connected to any other midi receiving device, the led stay off, but 
connected to the XL7 the led flickers.

Regards,
Richard
