How can I set up my mc808 with Rm1x as a master. But each time I try, it transmits all the midi notes to the Rm1x ( or other gear ). How can I turn off midi notes transmit, I went to system and turned everything off, but still it sends midi notes.

It works great as slave, but as master it keeps transmitting those annoying notes.

Anyone?

Go into part param and have them transmit int (internal) not ext (external).

you use 808 in slave mode so you don't have to keep changing the 808's BPM?? and does the rm1x have a midi filter sectionto turn off note/pc/cc etc ( rs7000 has this).
....... as a last resort disconnect 808's midi out cable to rm1x :-)

Thanks for help, but I think I found the answer in the Mc808 Faq page.


How can i sync mc-808 and mc-505 like vanderson does?

If you want only a tempo sync with booth grooveboxes (without send the midi notes) : MC-808 > tempo sync to >MC-505 set the MC-505 to slave mode, in MC-808 you must change MIDI OUT settings for the all tracks (channels) SHIFT + PAD 13 (part parameters, and move cursor to SEQ OUTPUT ASSIGN) all tracks you must change to INT (internal) now MC-808 play only the internal tone generator without send anything to MC-505 Remember to save the pattern with new settings, because after power off, track parameters set to default ..

If you want play a tempo sync and send some notes from MC-808 to MC-505. Once again you must change settings in tracks, for which you want transmit to MC-505, so press SHIFT + PAD 13 (set to EXT external, now you can play notes from MC-808 but hear sounds only from MC-505, also you can set to BOOTH and play notes and hear sound from booth grooveboxes at the same time...)


I haven't tried this yet, but I'm sure this is what I needed.

Thanks for help anyways.

:face palm: not sure why I bothered.
