I was experiencing this "issue" with the Octatrack, but simply turning off TRANSP send in the MIDI sync menu allows one to sequence the M32 from OT without starting the M32's sequencer.
Midi Clock send remains on.

I've started sequencing a Mother-32 (Mom #2 is on the way) with a Korg Electribe 2. There's no direct way to disable the MIDI Start message on that piece of gear, but if you don't have it as the Master Clock pressing Play doesn't send the Start message, it just starts playing the sequence. Currently I'm using a Boss DR 202 as the Master Clock, but I'll probably pick up a Roland SBX-1. I could also sync the Korg to Live but it's a drag having to have a DAW running just to do some noodling.

Has anyone found a workable solution for this?

I have the same issue as others. I have the Social Entropy Engine as my sequencer and I want to sequence the M32 from here, but if I disable Midi sync from the Engine then I can't send clock messages to other gear on that midi port.

My other gear have settings to switch the midi clock source from Auto to internal which solves the issue, but M32 doesn't have this feature... or am I missing something? Is there a way of creating a blank sequencer pattern maybe?

in my case i set up my MPC 1000 as sending SYNC only for "A" midi chanels and my "mother 32" is controled by one of the "B" midi channels
i need some other synths to be synchronized , LFO and stuff
i did not find the way for her to ignore the start and stop messages.

but solved,...somehow ,...

I find this disappointing, and a very clear oversight in the software phase of dev.
The sequencer is a core object of control "inside" this machine and there should be a "user" based method of turning it off if needed.
This problem only relates to people who are using one midi interface with multiple devices "including" drum machines (its handy for them to get a start/stop) on the same interface but different channels.

I love my Moogs...but grrrrrr!

Solutions - (None that are as "logical" as having an on/off seq setting)
If you're using a seq (any kind doesn't matter) that has no ability to "filter" messages, (SYS messages 0xFA start 0xFB continue 0xFC stop) per channel, per/for a particular interface, then the only solution is to have an interface purely for the M32, and turn off MidiClock for that interface (allowing that your seq lets you do that, if it doesn't...youre up the creek). I have two M32's, I have to dedicate an interface to each one.

This seriously takes me out of "my happy place"!!

Same problem with Beatstep Pro, I have to remember to push play on the beatstep with the mother 32 volume turned all the way down the press stop the turn on the volume. :x this is a pretty bad design overlook and since theres no practical way to connect the mother to a computer theres no way to fix this with a software update (unless they work some magic like the Korg Volcas).

I see that there is a way to change the Tempo input behavior in page 46/50 of the manual but I haven't tried it yet...

Has anyone tried changin these settings yet?

Just curious if anyone has tested this small device to disable the sequencer?

Has anyone tried this yet or figure a way to keep the Beatstep Pro from starting the sequencer? I just started messing with the BSP and ran into this very problem too. I was actually using SEQ1 on the BSP to control my Model D and then the SEQ2 to control the M-32 that I had a pseudo drum strike setup on there. Kind of annoying having to manually kick off the M-32 Sequencer each time I start BSP sequencer. :(

Hi to all,
disabling the m32 sequencer: Assignable OUT of M32 set to "step1 trigger" into Sequencer run/stop.
The first note is played, then the seq. stops. I use this with my Beatstep pro.

Have a nice day

peace

k.

great if you don't mind giving up the one and only assignable output.

My solution is the MIDI Thru 4 / Filter box by miditech, bought from Amazon. It has switches on the back, disabling Realtime messages fixes the problem. One minor annoyance with this is that this disables also MIDI clock sync, so if you *do* start your sequencer by CV or manually, it's going to be free running (unless clocked with TEMPO but that's trickier to get right).

I have created a empty sequence on M32 by entering a rest on step 1.Now when I start Live it does not go bongbongbong....

Hello. I tried this trick of creating a sequence on the mother with only a single rest, however when I press Play on the BSP the mother doesn't play until I press Play on its sequencer. Any ideas why this would be?
