MC-808 with MC- 303 > Problem with MIDI messages

Post by pnxntdd »

Hi :) I have the MC 808 and MC 303 synchronized by midi as 808 is master and 303 is slave. But mc 303 is sending to mc 808 some sounds which I can not turn off, i cant control this sounds because, the sounds arent normaly write in my patterns. Second problem is that mc 303 is controling bank sounds of mc 808 too. And i dont want it.

I just want to synchronize them together without controling each other.

So, please can someone post me instructions , what exactly is needed to do ? How to setup this step by step on both grooveboxes .

THX A LOT I read manuals but i dont find this informations. And sorry for my english... Please help !

If you just want to sync them keep the 808 as master and do not hook up the midi out of the 303 to the 808. They'll still stay in sync. You're not using the 303 to sequence the 808 so there is no need for the midi out of the 303 to be used.

Setup the MC-808 midi out to MC-303 midi in. Only connections you should need. Set the MC-303 to Slave.

With this the MC-808 is sequencing the MC-303 and working as the master. The MC-303 will not sequence the MC-808 as the midi out of the MC-303 is not plugged into the MC-808. Now when you play your MC-808 it will trigger the MC-303 to start, stop, and sequence the sounds of the MC-303 (if you want to sequence the MC-303 sounds from the MC-808.)
