I’v been banging my head on this for a while, and I wondered if anyone has a similar set-up or run into a similar problem. (I’m new to MIDI and the OT, so this may stem from some fundamental misunderstanding…but I’m trying to learn )
I’ve been trying to get the Octatrack and the Expert Sleepers FH-2 working and I’ve run into a problem when either my clock + stop/start work correctly…or the midi gate CV works, but never both at the same time. If I turn on clock send from the OT, clock + start/stop work (as expected), but MIDI triggers fire incorrectly/irregularly across channels and triggers. If I turn clock send off, midi works as expected.
to be clear the only variable changing is: Project > MIDI > Sync> Clock Send: Y/N
Nothing really exotic going on in the FH-2. I’m really just trying to get the basics working. Posting the config in case you’re familiar.
I don’t own the device but was poking around the Expert Sleepers site. Curious, are you on the most current firmware? Just released 4 days ago:
Edit: Also, page 10/11 of the current manual, what do you have the clock source set to on the FH-2? If you’re sending clock from the OT then the FH-2 should be set to DIN I assume.
When I send clock out of the OT, it recognizes it as coming through USB A (there’s no DIN on the device, I have a USB to DIN converter.) When I have the clock sending on the OT, works as expected…but the midi triggers are off.
I’m trying to figure out of the issue is with the OT or the FH-2. I can’t tell if I have MIDI on the OT configured wrong and this is the issue…or the FH configured wrong. Since I’ve isolated the parameter to the OT, I’m wondering if there something I have wrong, but I can’t figure it out.
