Midi to external synths problem

By Blah Tue Oct 18, 2022 3:05 pm
I stopped MMC messages being sent so the play start button doesn’t activate them but double stop on the MPC will start the sequencers on the Volca keys and the Monologue. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong…

Also if I want to send MMC to my looper to start via USB midi but not my synths on the 5 pin, is that possible?

This was one of the first things I made sure to understand when I got my X.

Try the "SEND MMC" option and output "SYNC"=ON.
