so in Control Out2, MIDI Clock is set to "OFF"?  If so, you won't
get a flashing light on your MIDI interface upon connection; it's
sending nothing while not being played; as soon as you play it, it
should send messages, though.  if you set MIDI Clock to "OUT" it
will send clock always (and thus your light will blink).

like I still have those! :-)  no, there's not much else that would
effect the OUT port really.

it doesn't flash even when you use the exact settings described
above and you're playing a pattern?

BTW, you have all of the channels in the MIDI Chanls menu set
to something, right?

no need to apologize either way.  hopefully it was just a silly
error and it's not a hardware problem (slapping your head in a
"duh!" moment is better than being without the machine
for a couple weeks! :-)

well if it's indeed broken, I'm sure Elektron will take care of you.
And since there's a repair facility in the states, you won't be
without it for too long.

no problem! let us know how it pans out....

good luck!
