Re: [CZsynth] Keystep question

If you use two cables as I suppose, check MIDI Thru setting on Keystep (OM page 61). It has to be set to OFF.

Maybe this can avoid your problem.

If it's ON, there's a MIDI loop and CZ will behave strangely.

Hi all,
I've been a part of this group for years, but until now have never sent a message (just been learning a lot). But I picked up an Arturia Keystep Friday specifically to sequence and arp my cz. To that end, it's been amazing. But there is one issue related to MIDI — the synth frequently gets stuck on the first preset upon startup if the keystep is connected. Then I have to turn it off and on again a bunch of times to be able to switch to different patches. As far as I can tell, those buttons work fine if MIDI is disconnected. I have the MIDI channel set correctly and program changes enabled. Is there something else I'm missing or is this just a fluke for the CZ?
