Making Minitaur respond to Midi channel 2->

Post by Porksword909 » Thu Oct 04, 2012 11:44 am

It only responds on channel 1 and I have a step sequencer plugin that sends on channel 2...
I changed input to channel 2 on Minitaur editor but didn't help..

I keep mine on channel 1 (I have some fancy Midi routing and channel mapping in my studio so haven't had the need to change it) but here is an excerpt from the manual. In short, you setup to send on channel 2 (in your case), execute a key sequence to enact "learn" mode, then send something from keyboard/DAW.

MIDI CHANNEL
The Minitaur sends and receives on a single MIDI channel. By default, the Minitaur is set to MIDI Channel 1, but it can be set to any MIDI Channel (1-16). To change the MIDI Channel on the Minitaur:
1. Connect your MIDI controller or DAW to the Minitaur.
2. Adjust the controller (or DAW) to transmit the desired MIDI Channel.
3. On the Minitaur; press and hold all four panel switches (VCO 1 Wave, VCO 2 Wave, GLIDE and RELEASE). The panel switch LEDs will blink, indicating that the Minitaur is waiting to set the new MIDI channel. The next MIDI message that the Minitaur receives (a Note On, CC, Pitch Bend etc...) will set the new channel.
4. Once in learn mode, press a key on the MIDI controller(or send MIDI data from the DAW). The Minitaur will reset its MIDI channel to match the channel being sent.
Changes to the Minitaur’s MIDI channel are written to memory and are remembered on power down.
