Howdy,
I'm pretty much a MIDI newby so I apologize if the answer to this question is obvious to most of you but here goes . . .
I'm trying to sequence my DSI TETRA synth with the MPC Live in standalone mode.
The TETRA is not very easy to navigate and program (for me, anyway) but I've matched the MIDI channel and I'm able to sequence the TETRA and to change the TETRA programs by changing the program number in the MIDI program section of the MPC's main page. But I don't always get the program that I want . . .
The problem I'm having is that quite often, when hit PLAY START on the MPC, the program changes on the TETRA. And it changes to the same TETRA program regardless of what program number is selected in the MPC MIDI program area.
If I'm playing a track previously created using the MPC sequencing the TETRA, it works fine, and if I stop the Track and then hit play again, the track starts playing the same program sound in the TETRA.
BUT, if I hit PLAY START instead of play, the program on the TETRA jumps to a different program.
And it's the same program. For example, it might keep jumping to a certain sound regardless of what Program I choose in the MPC.
And I tried using local control on the TETRA to select the Program, but it still changes when I hit Play Start on the MPC.
And the TETRA keeps assigning different program numbers to the same sounds. In other words, when I hit Play Start on the MPC, a TETRA program previously located at Group 3, Program 76 in the TETRA will change to Group 3, Program 75 (on the TETRA screen) when I hit Play Start on the MPC.
Bottom line is that I'm not able to sequence the TETRA sound/program I want because it changes when I hit Play Start on the MPC!
Any thoughts? Is this an MPC glitch or a MIDI programming issue (and if a MIDI issue, should I be looking at the settings in the MPC or in the TETRA??)
Thanks!!!
