I was using my octatrack as a master the other day, in fact the master synth doesnt matter. The TR8 when connected makes all of the motu output buttons light up. The Motu website suggests that this is due to midi loop. I can create the mutings in clockworks or turn off specific midi things ex sub 37. I am curious as to why the tr8 makes every output lightup. is there a way to stop the tr8 doing this without using the motu mutings?
I dare say maybe there is something i can switch off in tr8 settings maybe but not sure.
Ive made various presets with the clockworks so i can use ot as master or sub 37 master but i dont get this problem with any of the other equipment. The only action required on other stuff is to not rout to itself, obviously, and ensure that the midi input of the master device mutes realtime and hey presto it all works.
to diagnose i shut everything off and just connected the tr8 itself and when i did this even despite muting realtime all outputs light up.
maybe someone could hook one up and advise.
