FA06: Sending START/STOP to other Devices

6 Apr 2023, 02:21

Bonjour.

Just a short question. Didn't find a solution so maybe someone may help.

After selecting a Song in the FA-06 is the FA-06 capable of sending START and STOP Messages upon pressing the corresponding buttons on the FA-06? We don't want to start our stage sequencer (REAPER) using a footswitch or something else (not failsafe). The Play and Stop Buttons of the FA-06 would be nice to use. Until now we are able to receive the program changes associated with a studio set with REAPER but did not get the START/STOP Messages to work. Maybe any settings we have forgotten??

Thanks

Really no one with more knowledge is able to check the START/STOP Messages?? According to the MIDI Implementation chart the only restriction to send this Messages is that the Parameter "Sync Output" is set to "ON".

According to the FA reference manual, there are a number of related system settings. In particular, the option Sync Output sounds interesting: Specifies whether clock, start, continue, stop, and song position pointer messages are transmitted to another device (ON) or are not transmitted (OFF).

Have you tested these options?
