Hi there,
Today is a special day: I just received a brand new Hapax! Finally!
I’m kind of stuck with an issue with MIDI though: I’d like the Hapax to be able to pass through some MIDI information coming from my Octatrack, and it quite doesn’t work with the actual track I’m working on: I get some kind of MIDI glitches (weird synchronisation), and stuck notes.
Basically, I want the Hapax to be the MIDI master for building up my tracks, develop them, control the other machines… But: I love the Octatrack for some of its sequencing capabilities, and my idea for this setup would to be able to control any synth with one of the two sequencers, at will. (I also thought I could possibly process the MIDI data sent up by the Octatrack with the MIDI effects of the Hapax… but let’s manage to fix the current situation first before adding some processing in the chain…)
So here’s my setup : Hapax is set to master and OT to slave (for the MIDI transport I mean - I also want the Hapax to trigger some pattern changes on the OT, using MIDI Program Changes - and I’d also like to be able to sequence some sounds of the OT using the sequencer of the Hapax). Besides I connected the OT’s MIDI OUT to the MIDI IN Port A of the Hapax: I have one track running into the Hapax, which has this MIDI port selected as its input, and its MIDI out is set up to the port linked to the synth I want to control (a Korg Opsix). As I said: the sync of the notes is just weird, and after some seconds a MIDI note will stuck and I just get a never-ending legato. If I connect the OT directly to the Opsix, it works perfectly.
So I wanted to ask here if you people could have some insights about this issue. I must say I’m a bit overwhelmed with all this MIDI information going in all directions… I might be doing it wrong.
Thanks for having read!
