Curious if anyone else has seen anything like this…
I route my MD midi output to my x0xb0x to send it sync. When I plug the x0x back into the md audio in, I get this weird buzz. Thought it was poor connection at first then noticed it changed as I sent various midi messages to the x0x.
x0x works fine when not connected via audio or midi to the md - only when they both are.
Have not noticed as much the same thing when I route the nintendo back into the md.
For what it’s worth - I run the midi into the x0x midi THRU port since my in doesnt seem to work (it’s a hack that might bail you out someday).
Of course that screams foul, but I’m curious why the both work ok independently, but not when connected via the two protocols.
Yes I built the x0x myself a few years back. The MIDI in and USB has never worked, so I guess start poking around for incorrect ground or something shorted there?
If you have any insight what to check first, please let me know.
I don’t use the MD as a midi controller often, because I prefer to do this with the dedicated midi machines of MM or OT. But the few times I used the MD to sequence my Acidlab Miami or my Virus TI I never had such problmes. So it seems this is a problem of your xox-box
