midi trouble with mpc1000 & lxr

edited March 2015 in General
hi,

i would like to use both machines in time. so my mpc is the master and the lxr is the slave. (mpc midi out = lxr midi in)
the connection between both works, because i can start the mpc and the lxr will "run". however, my lxr is not at "0bpm" (0bpm doesnt work = no result/ no sequencer running). rxf is on "r" and txf is "off".
the situation is both instruments run with there on bpm and when i switch the sequences in sequencer mode ("next seq") the lxr will stop suddenly.

is there a black belted midi fighter with some information outside??
thanks in advance

    Here it's working without any problems. Not with a MPC but another hardware sequencer.
    But you have to set the bpm to 0! Otherwise the LXR doesn't react at all to an external clock. Midi filter setting "R" for RXF is correct when you only want to receive realtime data like clock, start and stop.
    I'm using the official software.

    Just an idea (i'm really not sure) but looking at this problem, I discovered that there are two type of sync in midi. One who transmit the midi clock and an other who transmit the start and stop (in the LXR manual "MIDI clock sync" and "MTC sync"). The LXR seem's to receive mtc, so perhaps the MPC only send mtc and not midi clock. So when you do "next seq" the LXR stop cause the MPC send nothing at this moment and the LXR isn't receiving any clock. I don't know how to do it on a MPC, but perhaps you can check if MTC and clock are send from the MPC or not.

    @cj55 i set the parameter on "0bpm" nothing happens. so i choosed the identical bpm for both machines. then the lxr will work.

    @xirso my mpc is set on mtc (this one works better in my ableton ;-)) and of course i set the mpc on master. the mpc 1000 can do midi clock and mtc.

    julian do you know how to set up??

    >> my mpc is set on mtc
    This is probably the problem. Can you try to set your mpc to transmit midi clock and start/stop messages?
    Or you can try to set the RXF filter to "all". Maybe the mtc is filtered out in the "R" setting (it's only for midi clock and start/stop messages and mtc is a sysex message).

    hey, i will check this out! thx.
    how do you use your mpc/lxr combo? i mean: lxr just percussions and snaresounds and kicks and on the mpc synth sounds or do you use on both boxes drums etc??
  • juggernautjuggernaut
    the mpc is on "mtc a/b"
    now i tested both boxes with "rxf" "all". there is no difference to the early setting. i also tested variations with "rxf" "all", "R" and "mrt" "off" and "m2m". a lot of menue diving without any result. the lxr "needs" a own tempo and after switching sequences the lxr stops. the sequences on the mpc change "immediately". this i think couldnt be the problem....

    I don't have a mpc. But I tried the midi sync function with several other midi gear without any problems (MidiALF, Roland TR-8, Moog Sub37 as master).

    yes, you are right. i switched to midi clock and they work together.
