I’m new to this piece of Gear but So far I really like this sequencer. I’m still trying to learn as much as I can, I’m still currently a Rookie So please Be gentle if this question is annoying. Maybe one of You Smart Lads or Ladies can help me.
I’m Trying to get My Korg Volca Beats to sync via Midi to My sequencer. Running On midi Channel 5(for example) and everything matches up, Yet I cannot seem to get any noise Coming out. No arrows or indications that it’s receiving information, Although My quadra Thru Blinks blue. The rest of My hardware gear is working flawlessly.
Again sorry for the irritating question but I’m eager to learn.
Cheers!
are you getting sound from your other synths? just not the volca beats?
it sounds to me like your Volca Beats is not setup to listen on the same midi channel as you are sending on.
the reason sync works is because midi clock sync is not tied to a midi channel.
The Volca beat channel as suggested by @thetechnobear (Hold MEMORY when you boot the volca)
On the Pyramid, go to the Settings / Info. From there, you can monitor the MIDI that leave the Pyramid and ensure you send it to the right Channel.
Check this to change the channel you are using on the Pyramid side: https://squarp.net/pyramid/manual/trackmode#ancre08
Finally, the volca beat use one note for each instruments (all on the same change). So make sure, you sending note 36 to trigger the Kick for example. (36 = C1)
