Question about midi machine

Question about midi machine

2007-02-16 by Royalston

Hi
Ive had the MD-UW for about 2 months now...Im loving it. I was  
fiddling around tonight trying to get the MD to trigger an Alessis  
Andromeda. Im getting mixed results.

Ive got the midi machine loaded, its sending midi out on midi channel 1.
Ive inserted 1 note thats 32/32ths long.
Press play on the MD...andromeda plays. This is good...but...

When all other channels are muted....it all works fine - as expected.
But when I unmute some other tracks (which have MD drum synths, and  
patterns, on them) every time they 'hit' it seems to send a retrigger  
message to the andro, restarting the note...
if I mute everything again, except the midi machine, its all fine.

The Andro is all sync'd up nicely to the md...but I dont know why  
this is happening.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Royalston

In "global", you can choose what midi note the machines should trig on, 
if you want to play the MD from an external keyboard. However, those 
notes are also sent when the md triggers the macine internally (which is 
great if you want to get the pattern as midi into a sequencer).

If you set the keyboard mappings to "off" for all machines, this won't 
happen. Dont know if you can turn note send off "globally" somewhere.

Patrik is correct, midi mapping allows you to turn off what midi note to trigger on. Then you can use the midi machines to play whatever notes you want on your Andromeda.
