I’m using a faderfox MX12 with the Octatrack and the Analog Rytm. I also have 3 synths in the setup.
The octatrack goes to a thru box via the midi out, then sends a signal to the synths via midi thru 1-3 and also goes to a midi merge box via midi thru 4. The faderfox goes via midi 1 to that same midi merge box, and the output of that merge box goes into the rytm. So the clock is sent to the rytm and also the midi output from the faderfox’s faders. Midi 2 of the faderfox goes into the octatrack in.
The faderfox is mapped so that faders 1-4 are controlling the rytm track levels and faders 5-8 are controlling the octatrack track levels, easy.
Now, what I noticed when performing is that whenever I use the faders of the rytm, sometimes the beat skips. I think it’s because both the clock and the midi messages from the faderfox are going through the merge box. Is there a solution to this? Has anyone ever had this?
Also, I’d like to be able to play my synths and record those midi notes in the octatrack, but the faderfox already is claiming the midi in port. How do I solve this?
Does anyone know if I can let the octatrack’s clock go through the faderfox? Would it be smart to have the rytm as the masterclock instead of the octa and then use sync A or sync B?
Anyway, been scratching my head! haha
Thanks for the help
