I’ve been playing around with my Minilogue and Octatrack for the past few weeks: creating samples, using the Octa to trigger the Minilogue. However, I ran into an issue.
The note lengths aren’t exactly what I’d like when I’m making my music, so I was hoping I could utilize Midi out from the Minilogue to trig on the Octatrack. When I started sync all my gear up, I figured it would be fairly straight forward, but I ran into peculiar errors when I tried to play back what the Octrack picked up from the Minilogue XD’s midi.
Both units began to flash. The Minilogue was changing programs, and the Octatracks trigs were unresponsive.
I’m still relatively new to linking gear, so I’m not exactly sure what is going on, or what if anyone has any recommendations.
All the best
Edit: Realized what I was doing wrong
I was trying to utilize a thru box to hook up all of my gear, so both the Minilogue and Octatrack were receiving their own signals and creating errors. Now that they’re hooked up directly to one another, there isn’t any issue with sending and receiving midi, and I can get the lengths I can trig the midi notes and length from the Minilogue XD.
