Midi out events

Hi everyone. My first topic, sorry if I missed same problem searching here.
Let me ask a question about Octatrack midi out events
Currently I use OT with 1.25b. When I’m in mixer mode triggering mute/unmute audio track I get something strange in my MidiOX input monitor (I use midi to usb interface to wire OT with pc).

  1. all channels are off
  2. unmute audio.channel.2
  3. mute audio.channel.2
  4. repeat step 2 and 3 several times

MidiOX input monitor:
Timestamp IN Port Status Data1 Data2 Chan Note Event
00144648 11 – B1 31 00 2 — Control Change
00144889 11 – 90 31 01 1 C# 3 Note On
00144C6A 11 – B1 31 00 2 — Control Change
00144E6C 11 – 90 31 01 1 C# 3 Note On
00145295 11 – 90 31 00 1 C# 3 Note Off
00145481 11 – B1 31 01 2 — Control Change
00145869 11 – 90 31 00 1 C# 3 Note Off
00145A1C 11 – 90 31 01 1 C# 3 Note On
00145E95 11 – B1 31 00 2 — Control Change
00146036 11 – 90 31 01 1 C# 3 Note On
00146492 11 – B1 31 00 2 — Control Change
00146675 11 – 90 31 01 1 C# 3 Note On
0014A36E 11 – B1 31 00 2 — Control Change
0014A41E 11 – 90 31 01 1 C# 3 Note On
0014A641 11 – 90 31 00 1 C# 3 Note Off
0014A6F7 11 – 90 31 01 1 C# 3 Note On
0014A8C2 11 – 90 31 00 1 C# 3 Note Off
0014A97A 11 – 90 31 01 1 C# 3 Note On
0014AB27 11 – B1 31 00 2 — Control Change

So pressing button I recieve from OT different types of messages: Note on|off and CC. Another strange thing is when I recieved Note On message and then just pressing T2, T3 … T8 I recieve only CC events:
0014ABD6 11 – 90 31 01 1 C# 3 Note On
001547DE 11 – B2 31 00 3 — Control Change
00154954 11 – B3 31 00 4 — Control Change
00154AE0 11 – B4 31 00 5 — Control Change
00154C68 11 – B5 31 00 6 — Control Change
00154E16 11 – B6 31 00 7 — Control Change
00154FB0 11 – B7 31 00 8 — Control Change
00155181 11 – B1 70 00 2 — Control Change

Is it any way to get exact logic for these events to synch OT with my Lemur interface?

cheese

Another issue are track trig events, I recieve Note On events on correct channel, but Note Off are always on channel#1

0027CD2A 11 – 91 19 7F 2 C# 1 Note On
0027CDA7 11 – 90 19 00 1 C# 1 Note Off
0027D05A 11 – 92 1A 7F 3 D 1 Note On
0027D0B4 11 – 90 1A 00 1 D 1 Note Off

I get exactly the CC messages (only) prescribed to be sent in the appendix C-2

so it’s CC 49 for the respective midi channel - value 0>1 (where 1 mutes) for sampler tracks

and CC 112>119 for the midi tracks

Note messages do not come into it !

If i understand q correctly !

for me the correct channel is used for note offs- check your usb device !
out of interest - are you virtual or real Lemur ?
I’m hoping to add to the virtual lemur templates i have got started

i’m using Midi Monitor on a Mac btw

Thank you for your replies, let me check another config and be back with clarifications

I’ve changed midi-usb cable, but nothing has changed
Could you try to press same button (B) in mixer menu several times (lets say 10-15 times per 2-3 sec)? Nothing changed to you also? Only CC?

Are you sure you are pressing track trigs in audio mode? Sorry for silly question :slight_smile:
Regarding lemur - I’m not sure I got you correctly. I’m configuring Lemur iOS app for my iPad

yep !!

Exactly as it should be from the Midi ref >


yep, quit strange
and what about quick multiple pressing T2[B] in mixer mode?

all by the book ! >


thanks a lot, mate!
and last question. do you use midi-midi cable to monitor event or midi-usb?

monitoring via OT DIN Midi>USB cable plugged into Mac
i tested with a similar product i have too

i wouldn’t recommend the ESI one though fwiw - it is too clever for its own good as it tries to auto detect - i get an issue or two with one of its ports, but the other is solid, the other mid-price one i have is not so savvy with sysex - so i’m looking to get a proper quality one to avoid all headaches - probably an m-audio one, all the m-audio (midiman) midi stuff i have has been perfect, always !!
