It was definitely user error, as I haven’t had any further issues.

Here’s a quick guide if you want to do this. I’m assuming you want to use Track 1 to control Track 2. Track 2 will take MIDI notes from Track 1, plus have trigless locks. Track 2 output would only be through the delay or reverb.

  1. Plug MIDI out into MIDI in.
  2. In the MIDI setup menu:
    a. set Track 1 MIDI output to channel 1.
    b. set Track 2 MIDI input to channel 1.
    c. make sure MIDI is set to send on the standard MIDI cable, not just USB.
  3. In the Audio setup menu:
    a. Set audio out for Track 2 to “Off.” (This is a choice since I only wanted track 2 to be wet)
  4. On the track 1 Track Setup menu:
    a. set MOut to “On”
  5. Get your sounds for tracks 1 and 2. Note that track 2 has to have the delay or reverb sends up to hear anything.
  6. Sequence track 1. Keeping an eye on note length is critical here. As my default, I set the length to just under 1 (0.92 or whatever) - this keeps it from masking the trigless locks on track 2.
  7. Sequence your trigless locks on track 2. Considerations: these cannot be on the same step as the sequence in step 1, as they would be ignored.

I think that’s it. It took me a bit of time to sort out and understand the limitations involved. However, the end results can be spectacular.
