another midi trigger non starter...

Post by daveymuso »

Hi

I know this has been discussed before, but none of the other threads are helping me...

My setup...

Sonar 5 -> loopBe internal midi -> Freestyler.

Sonar is outputing th channel one of the loopBe
FS midi input is set to LoopBe
I have a note C4 playing from sonar at 127 velocity
I put FS into start to listen for midi -- it captures successfully the note (48) against the toggle blackout command.
When I hit stop, then save, and then play the note it does not trigger the blackout

I have tried numerous different commands & notes
I have tried changing the option 'note on -note off' in the setup page

sound thats your problem, if you hit stop then it will stop the External midi control.

it needs to stay on Start.


Start = Midi controlls ON
Edit = Listen to the midi note's you send and puts it on a External command
Stop = Midi controlls Off
