I'm stuck

I'm trying to get my XT to trigger it's arp over usb midi. It seems impossible unless I'm missing something!

Can anyone help?

In the system settings, you need to set Remote Keyboard Switch to on.

Hi Artemy, I've done a word search on the manual pdf and have looked at all the system settings.. I'm not seeing it. Sorry if I'm being stupid. It is a V-Synth XT if that makes a difference.

Many thanks

Sorry I just assumed it has one just like the keyboard V-Synths... maybe you need to see what's there in the settings regarding sync/triggering?

That's ok, yes I am having a really really good look :) It works fine over midi, but my setup is like a broom cupboard and the less wires the better!

I'm looking under "mode" / "system" / then USB midi. I've tried midi clock source as Int, Midi and usb/midi.

Under controller I've tried "local sw" on and off but no joy. Ohh my word this is frustrating!

I'm coming to the conclusion it may be Logic 9. It definitely sends clock over midi cables, but I will have to dig out my blofeld and see if it sends over usb to that...

Hi Totty,
All you have to do on the XT is in SYATEM / MIDI USB. to chose Clock Source as MIDI or USB MIDI, depending on how you connect your XT to the Clock Source.

Hope it helps

did you ever solve this? I got hold of a V-Synth XT (awesome, hope I keep it), & I'm playing it thru USB from Logic 9. No arpeggiation. I've read on the web that Logic 8 eliminated MIDI tempo output or something...

There is a XT known bug that prevents Logic (or any other DAW) to trigger XT Arps when run over USB. You need to use MIDI in order to get the Arpeggiation.

Paulo's right,
but if you want the arp to run in sync with Logic, which I presume you do,
you also need to enable midi clock send in Logic (which is of course still there in Logic 9):
I am not totally sure whether the menu names are correct in your language...

go to PROJECT preferences ( not general prefs)
find the "synchronization" button, click it
find the "midi" tab under synchronization
check "send midi clock" and choose your target (v-synth midi port).
do not send MMC or Time code, this will only lead to bad midi data congestion ;)
cheers,
