Slim Phatty Volume boosts @ sequence record (FF400 - MPC 5k)
Posted: Sun Jan 23, 2011 6:36 am
I have my slim phatty connected via simple midi cable (midi in) to my MPC (midi out) and audio cable of SP out to FF400. I can play keys and noodle around and volume is just fine but when I hit record on the MPC to record the phatty part the the volume boosts a few notches on its own. I end up having to adjust the SP volume knob upward to the volume level and back down. Happens on the SP even when I'm recording a part from other synth... volume just boosts and requires me to turn it back down to get back to normal volume. Odd huh? Or maybe not? Anyone seen this before? any ideas?
EDIT>>>
Not sure how many of you use RME ff400 but there is a routing matrix that can be kind of confusing sometimes.... so anyways i dont think this is a SP issue. I swapped midi cables and ports on MPC to no avail. I eventually ended up taking the 1/4" audio cable out of the RME FF400 and putting it into the MPC's input thru and the volume was stable during record and playback.... Strange but it has to have something to do with the MAtrix in my RME FF400... must be routed to something somehow (I'll revisit that another time). But at least I know its not my Slim Phatty.
