Hi all,
In my studio, i have a keyboard for live performance sitting right next to the Hapax. I have this set to the Active Track Port/Channel (just a keys extension of the Hapax). When I play something from that keyboard (on the active track port/channel), i would like all midi events sent to the active tracks outputs, regardless of the active tracks input settings. Great, this works.
However, I also don’t want midi echo loops, so I try giving each track it’s proper input port/track, so i can record any notes/messages coming from that synth itself. but if it comes in on the tracks inport channel, i do NOT want to echo that back to the actual synth where the messages came from. If it came in from the “active track port/channel”, i.e. the keyboard attached to the hapax, i DO want it to actually output those notes/messages.
So basically is there a way to set the MIDI IN settings for all messages to be REC ONLY, is there a way for anything received on active track port/channel only to be in ACCEPT mode instead?
Hope this makes sense, and please let me know if there is a any other way to achieve this (this is not MIDI THRU cause those won’t reach the actual output synth as they are on a different channel of course).
Any help appreciated, thanks
Thinking about this more, I would have thought the default would be that the Active Track Port/Channel setting would simply ignore the rest of the MIDI IN settings and always output all events (even if the rest of the MIDI IN settings are IGNORE or REC ONLY). This is meant to essentially control a synth with a midi device plugged into the Hapax itself, so the events would not have originated from the playable synth anyways. Is there a way to make the Active Track Port/Channel in “always enable” mode? or could we perhaps get a setting to do that? That way, we could avoid MIDI loops by setting the input settings to REC ONLY while still being able to play the synth from the active channel, and without setting every synth to LOCAL mode only? Please let me know if there is already a way to do this.
Thanks!

Hello, does anyone know how to do this? Use a master keyboard (keystep 37 or whatever) to control active track (so MIDI INPUT has to accept notes, etc) as well as have individual track control from the synths themselves for recording purposes (but those should NOT echo back to the actual synth, otherwise there is a loop). Is there any way to do this on the Hapax? Thanks

You would think this would be as straight forward as you suggested. Also, that it would be a top list feature from its inception. Strange that its even taken us users this long to pick up on it… Hopefully @squarpadmin are watching/listening…
