ARP to external gear

ARP to external gear

2002-10-28 by Sergio Teixeira Jr.

Hello there,

I figured out how to get the MP-7 to change programs in an external 
synth, but I still can't get the unit to send the arpeggiator data to 
the midi ports. Is there something I am missing? I already set ARP 
menu to transmit the data. Is there something else to be done?

Cheers.

It just dosn't really work right, or at least it dosnt work in such a way
that a logicaly minded synth geek like ourselves would expect it to....I've
tryed and tryed, the only way to do it, is to set the midi assignment to
'both' (ext and int) in the pattern edit mode for that track, then turn the
arp on for the preset selected, and turn the volume of that preset off, then
it works....

I STILL have not found anyway to record the arp's outputs into a track on a
note by note basis...it will record the note on, and note off, but nothing
in between....real bummer eh?

Connect one of the XX7's MIDI outs to its MIDI input and set the ARP up to
send external MIDI notes.  Record the generated MIDI notes into a different
track.  This also works for recording audition riffs, and its cousin
SuperBeats.

Thanx for the answer, but...

if I set the track to "both" then the program changes don't 
work, right?
