Hi all, total newbie here and to synths in general, so I apologize if this is a dumb question. But I've spent many hours looking for an answer, and I can't find one.
I'm primarily a guitarist, looking to incorporate drums and synth into live gigs. I've found discussions on controlling all kinds of parameters with an external midi command, but I don't need any of that. I need one thing: the ability to start and stop the sequencer with a midi command. I'm hoping this is possible. If so, can anyone be my new best friend and tell me the command?
External midi to start/stop sequencer?

Re: External midi to start/stop sequencer?
Hi
You can definitely do this - you want to send MMC messages (start/stop) from a controller. Also MIDI clock (because I think you'll need to set the JD-Xi to Sync Slave mode to get it to respond to the MMC).
Pretty sure that you can also send program change messages to select different sequences (programs) on the JD-Xi.
Good luck!
