MIDI receiving on all channels from sequencer

Post by Lunar »

I use my FA-06 sequencer to control/play it's internal sound engine and control two external synths (Gaia & Integra). Just got a System-8, and connecting via the MIDI Thru box is getting some unexpected results. I have the Sys-8 set to receive MIDI on channel 13 for patch mode, and channels 14(lower) & 15(upper) for performance mode. Omni Mode is set to off, remote keyboard set to on in order to trigger the arpeggiator from the FA sequencer.
Whenever the FA sequencer starts to play, the Sys-8 is getting MIDI on all 16 channels - or whatever channels are set to transmit from the FA-06 - when it is set to only receive on three. With remote keyboard set to off, there isn't a problem, but on that setting it won't trigger the arps remotely. Am I overlooking something here? Any help would be appreciated.
