Re: [elektron] BROKEN SIDSTATION!

2003-07-19 by Col Dee

That last post was mostly a joke, by the way..

The problem with my SidStation gets less confusing, or maybe more so. 
I brought the Fizmo in and used it to trigger the Sid:

Fizmo MIDI OUT > Sid MIDI IN

So the computer isn't involved at all in MIDI activity. This seems to 
have completely eliminated the problem I was having before.

(Incidentally, inspired by something a person said earlier here 
("anything else on the MIDI bus?") I opened Pro-53 and made sure that 
it was only MIDI channels 1 and 2 that were activated. And I made 
sure that the Sid was accepting on channel 1. The problem still 
happened.)

So I can only assume it is something to do with the computer 
soundcard's MIDI. By the way, don't laugh, but it's a Creative Audigy 
2 Platinum. I've been using MIDI OUT Port 2 instead of Port 1, 
because it is more accessible physically. Anyone got any ideas?

Help is greatly appreciated.
Col.
