Re: [elektron] very strange midi behavior from the MnM

2007-05-24 by hymen_blaster

Hey I have this SAME problem. I've tried a couple of midi interfaces 
(emagic AMT-8 + MOTU Midi Express XT), a couple of different 
patching programs (Midi-OX, Unitor Control, a DAW) and even found it 
when connecting the MNM to other things directly.

There are some other issues, too. When slaved to external sync, 
pressing stop on my sequencer only stops the monomachine for a 
minute or so, at which point it amazingly decides to start playing 
back by itself. It is NOT that voices are sustaining - the entire 
sequencer just magically starts by itself. It does this even after 
a "double stop" on the mnm.
