Using fx track for cv

rgraphic · 2015-04-22T03:48:30.000Z

so i designated the fx track for my 2nd cv track but when i use the mini internal keyboard it plays both the fx and cv tracks simultaneously. only the fx track is heard when using my midi keyboard. Any ideas what causes this?

Hit the FX track button twice. Pressing it once takes you to the FX track but keeps the last track active (its LED will be dim red). Useful for tweaking effect parameters but obviously bad for using the FX track by itself.

double clicking the fx track will switch the light to just that track but the internal keyboard still wants to play both tracks. I know the direction you’re thinking though. If i don’t double tap the fx track button it will not switch to playing that track (cv 2) at all.

so for whatever reason, the A4’s keyboard will aways play the cv track (in addition) when playing all other tracks i just realized. I didn’t catch it because i have been using the midi keyboard which will only play the track that is activated.

Hm, only other thing I can think of is if both CV’s source is set to FX instead of one to FX and the other to CV.

Other than that I dunno – I’m trying it now with my MS20 and Microbrute and it’s working on my end. Course it could be a million other global settings down in the depths – I have no idea what that Voice Routing menu does for instance.

Yeah, the voice routing is what i was kinda wondering about.

well, I’m dumb. after an hour of trying to figure it out. turns out it was receiving midi notes when i thought it was just receiving midi clock. Now to figure out how to fix that. Thanks for the help though.

Well that’s… esoteric. How the hell does that end up affecting the built-in keyboard?

If you go into the global midi settings, the keyboard and encoders can transmit midi data. I had no idea either until I realized in one of the menus when I turned an encoder on the A4 the lights started Changing on the Slim phatty. Set encoders and keyboard to “int” rather than “int+ext” and problem solved.
