Digitone is freezing up when using MIDI

Hey everyone - wondering if this has happened to anyone else or if there’s simply some setting I’m missing:

I’ve connected my Digitone via MIDI OUT to the MIDI IN of an analog synth (it’s a MiniBrute, but it doesn’t seem like that part matters). I programmed a sequence on MIDI Track 1 to send to the MB, and now the Digitone is freezing when I press play and try to let the sequence run. The entire machine goes unresponsive.

What seems particularly weird to me is that if I reboot the Digitone and just hit play without the MIDI track enabled, everything works fine…until I enable the MIDI track, and we’re back to freezing again.

Has anyone seen this before? It feels like there must be a setting I’m ignoring, but it might be my hardware - I’ll appreciate any ideas you’ve got!

Do you have the Minibrute THRU going back into the Digitone by chance? Does the behavior stop when you disconnect the MIDI OUT of the DN from the MiniB?
