Octatrack and uMidi

Would it be easier if I sent a movie?

#11

Yeah that might help. If I had my OT here I could make a movie walking you through it. I could maybe bring it in tomorrow.

#12

That would be fantastic! I tried the Digitakt now and it is the same there, no trigs from the sequencer.

#13

Sorry, not sure how helpful this will be. Maybe you’ll notice something though. I realized afterwards that I didn’t actually demonstrate that the sequencer triggers the µMIDI too, but it does. https://youtu.be/fFW-4iUbitA

Ah thank you! I have tried this exact thing on both OT and Digitakt but the sequencer still won’t send. But I can play the notes while IR is running. I will make a movie this evening and send to you:)

Are you triggering in chromatic keyboard mode? If you hit play&rec to go into live recording mode and record notes into the sequencer does that work?

#17

Nope does not work

#18

It is the same in Tracks and Chromatic mode

#19

And I tried with the DT and it is the same

I found a forum thread on Elektronauts that has a similar problem here: https://www.elektronauts.com/t/no-midi-notes-out-of-sequencer-semi-solved/7130/5

One simple potential solution: Could the MIDI track be muted, or another track be soloed from the mixer page? I made that mistake once.

#21

O M G! Yes… Sorry:) I have used this machines for years and still. Thanks ever so much.

Was that it? A mute or solo?

#23

Mute… Again, sorry for this:))

Lol, no worries! I’m always glad to hear when it’s a simple solution, but I know how frustrating that sort of thing can be…

Now I just have to sell it to get the 1U version since I just bought your big case:joy:

#26

Nice! That’s a great way to free up some 3U space…

Hey, almost afraid to ask something again… :slight_smile: BUT, I have been spending a LOT of time trying to get my modules working in the new 7U/104HP (excellent) case of yours. Half of my modules will not work but when I put them back in my old case they do. I notice that lights for -12v and -5v are lit in the new case but not +12v. In my old case -12v and +12v are lit.

Jo.

Hmmm… that’s not good.

If you take out all your modules do all three LEDs light? If not, then the board is blown and needs to be repaired. If they do, then you’ll need to add one module at a time until you can determine which one is shorting things out.

Have disconnected every module and put them back several times during the last days with no result. Now when I did it I must have used some other positions because now it all works! Can there maybe be a bad connector (do not know the name) on the board? No module shortcut the board when I tried one at a time.
But the modules lit up like a christmas tree this time:)
