Yamaha MO6/Motif question?

When u send midi out of the appegiator, why does it play back with extra notes that were NOT sent out? I.E. the drum patterns don't record and play back EXACTLY the same way. Any ideas why?

are you also connected by midi in or midi thru... perhaps there is a conflict with another piece... if both start at the same time, perhaps the extra notes are from that...

let me know smile

Midi out to sequencer. When it plays back, there are extra notes recorded. This does NOT make any sense.

umm...not familiar with midi...taking a course this semester....maybe you have a roll on ?? ... did you set up your motif's settings?...what kind of midi interface do you have ?...what DAW are you running?... what feature are you using on the motif to control the midi?

I do a lot of drum stuff with midi until band practice...
then i get real people to sit in with me.
what it is with me most of the time and, people I answer the same ? for is this.

It is quantizing itself to align into a certain time, whatever time that is, its adding drums / beats / notes to reach the quantizing BPM. turn off the quantizer and start from the ground up with the timing and routing.
Thats where I would start to look. The apregiator is set to quantize the notes in time to the drums, its probly adding notes to keep the time.
Make sure your drum BPM is set to the same bpm or timing the apregiator is set to and you should be ok. The new Motif's will shoot you a warning message that the "2 are not serialized do you want to continue"

are you getting any error messages?

Also, go into your configuration and separate the drum track from the apregiated track, toss it onto a virtual track, keep them separate,
then bounce them on top of each other and that should over ride the midi command to add notes and keep in time...

If your not even using drums, it sounds like it is still (the apregiator)
trying to meet a timing demand set forth in BPM's by the midi clock.
Took this many semesters ago, and , lets say a few years back....

Damn computers.....

thus why I love my baldwin

Get your licks together and join this artist colaboration....
its on another thread...
we could use your help over there!

No everything is set up correctly. I have at least 15 "controller" type synths hooked up and this is the ONLY one that does this. I don't get it. Sending the apr out 2 midi is pretty straight forward yet it does not give the intended results. Very frustrating.....
