Re: [elektron] Monomachine with computer sequencer

2004-02-21 by Gene Schwartz

The transmission of its own data isn't the problem. So this would not be the
solution.

I was not talking about MIDI thru specifically - but most synthesizers (at
least modern ones) have a setting that allow you to suppress midi output.
most synths won't automatically send midi thru - I believe that the
monomachine does here because the assumption is that if you're recording
MIDI data on it from an external controller, you would want the data echoed
to the synth that you're playing. Well, this would be one instance when you
wouldn't want that.  We can debate whether it's 'needed' - but certainly a
feature that allowed you to suppress MIDI thru while recording MIDI would
recognize the issues that arise when using a computer sequencer centrally in
the environment, and would be exactly what is needed, uh wanted. I will
continue to find a way of getting this to work, however.

It will turn off the MnM's transmission/reception of it's own MIDI
data (i.e. it's internal six tracks).  Whether this will work or not, I
don't know.  I think you need to explain exactly what is creating your
feedback loop. is it the MnM's MIDI data or the MnM's MIDI sequencing
of the Virus?

as to your comments regarding the MnM's lack of MIDI functionality:
I only have one synth that actually allows the THRU to be turned off.
some others have a "local off" mode just as the MnM does. so I don't really
think its a common and needed feature. though you're right, it could
likely easily be done.
