Yeah, it's a shame. While Roland Support replied to my inquiry and said to be looking into it, they clearly give a $hit about the issue. No updates, nothing. Abandoned and left unfixed.

Yeah, super annoying to deal with another MIDI bug in a Roland device. Just a few months ago I got myself a FA-07 and quickly noticed a problem with the MIDI THRU function, which doesn't pass through all MIDI data as expected (something wonky going on with start/stop and MIDI clock data). This alrea...

Wow, WTF Roland? I wish it was me doing something wrong, but this is just ridiculous. Thanks for the detailed response. I'll definitely get in touch with Roland and report the bug. I would even consider this a (hidden) product deficiency. Not that I want to return the JD, but this is serious enough ...

I just got a JD-08 and one of the first things after upgrading the firmware to 1.02 was changing the MIDI channel settings on the device. I set the general channel to 11, Part A to 12 and Part B to 13 . While the synth receives and plays back incoming notes on those channels accordingly, I also noti...

If the FA doesn't pass clock signal thru midi, then you may need to get a midi splitter box (Such as a MIDI Solutions Thru or Quadra Thru) so you can send one to the FA and the other to the Octatrack. Yeah, that's probably the easiest solution. But tbh, it should work with just the Soft Through set...

USB-MIDI THRU doesn't make a difference since this is supposed to turn on/off the MIDI THRU only via USB. However, I got a little further with my testing and I can confirm that Soft Through does enable MIDI THRU on the MIDI OUT port, but it still isn't fully working as expected. When I send MIDI not...

Yeah, I tried both states on and off, didn't work either

I wonder if the implementation of the Soft Through function in the FA series is buggy or if I'm doing something wrong. Here's my scenario: Roland TR-6S MIDI OUT -> Roland FA-07 MIDI IN | MIDI OUT with Soft Through = ON -> Elektron Octatrack MKII The TR-6S is sending Transport and MIDI Clock, Sync Ou...
