Have you tried the free MIDI Monitor app (Mac) or free MidiOX app (PC) to see exactly what is being sent by your Kontroller?

It will quickly show you if you're sending the wrong MIDI Channel, or not sending the correct MIDI messages.

Without doing that first, everything else is just guessing.

Sorry to ask the obvious, but have you checked the MIDI send and receive channel settings? M32 default is to receive on channel 1. If you are sure you're sending from the S61 and receiving on the M32 on the same channel, and it still doesn't work, try using another MIDI controller/receiver (e.g. a computer) to isolate the problem.

Can I input 0-10VDC into the MIX 2 without harming the Mother32?
I want to attenuate it.
How would I scale 0-10VDC to -5 - +5VDC?

Possibly stupid question - When using two mothers together and using one to trigger the other for 2 oscillator sounds, i am patching gate out to gate in, and KB out to 1v/oct in. when the octaves and notes are identical, why am I not getting the same note? I have to hunt around on the frequency knob to get where i need to be. It seems like it's always slightly off? When I unplug from the 1v/oct, the kb tracking is obviously not right for all notes, but at least the tuning is correct. Does the KB --> 1v/oct do something to the pitch I don't know about?

It is an analog system. The only thing that is guaranteed with regard to 1v/oct is the voltage difference, not absolute voltage. The absolute voltage will of course be somewhere around +/- 5v, but may differ slightly from instrument to instrument. So the KB out voltage of the first, does not necessarily match the internal 1v/oct voltage of the second. It still tracks one octave per volt, but at a different tone since absolute voltages differ. So you'll have to tune the second oscillator to this new 1v/oct source.

What size are the sliding nuts of the mothers case? I want to add some modules in an empty m32 case. I read that they are m2,5 size but I think it should be m3?

my question is about sequencer : is it possible to to copy a page's pattern and paste it into the next page .
for example i want the same pattern that is stored in (1-8) copied and pasted into (9-16) .
thanks.

Hi all,

First time post from me - just bought a Mother 32 and enjoying using it so far.

I'm having a problem with midi sync. I have been able to set my DAW (Cubase 9.5 pro) to either send midi sync or not depending if I want to use the sequencer, or just play the Mother 32 like a normal hardware synth. However, when I sync the midi, the Mother 32 starts playing and the Tempo light flashes green. So far so good. Problem happens when I turn the temp knob, which I understand should now function like a clock divider. It doesn't - the light goes red and the sequencer goes out of sync. I've searched the internet but can't find an answer.

I'd be really grateful if anyone could help as the sequencer plays way to fast and I can't slow it down without losing sync.

Thanks :)

You enabled Sysex for a midi through on what device?

Both of my mother 32s ignore midi clock and their tempo knobs flash red at whatever their respective tempo Settings are.

To Save a pattern, hold (SHIFT)+RUN/STOP for one second. An Octave/Location LED will rapidly blink green indicating the current destination for saving.
To Save in the current location, simply press (SHIFT)+RUN/STOP.
To Save in a new location within the current bank, use the LEFT/RIGHT arrows to select Pattern location 1-8. NOTE: You can also hold (SHIFT) and press one of the eight corresponding pattern location buttons.

Is there any correct way to plug the mother 32 into the power socket? Does it matter if I first connect the cable to the unit and then to the power outlet or if I do the opposite. I now have the power cable all the time connected to the outlet and when I want to use the m32 I just plug it in.

The reason I am asking is because I know that there are some high end analog equipment like tube amplifiers that should always connected in a specific way: unit first and then to the wall power outlet.


thanks.

Hi all

I posted a vid of how you can get a filter kick, snare, bass line and melody all programmed into one M32 sequence and doesn't tie up the LFO. hopefully helps some people get into this awesome synth

I can not make Midi work- wanted to connect a simple controller keyboard, both on cannel 1, but nope, now sound. What could be wrong?
