Moog Music Forum

I have encountered some strange MIDI issues with my Minimoog reissue.

Generally, when controlling the Minimoog with my Motif XF via MIDI, everything works as it should – it responds to all regular patterns, songs and voices just fine. However, for some reason ONLY when I send the Motif's arpeggios to the Moog, it fails to respond properly – at best it will play a few random notes from the arp here and there, but not the full melody/sequence of notes.

All my other synths with MIDI play out the Motifs arps perfectly, but the Minimoog falls short. Is it because the new Minis' MIDI implementation is limited? I know it can't send modulation messages for example. Or is there some under the hood setting I am missing?

Someone please help, its driving me kind of bonkers, haha.

Thanks

Hmmm strange. Is the motif arpegiator trying to send polyphonic note information? Not sure whether your mini is set up for low,high or last note priority - maybe something to explore. But also try setting the motif to mono mode. Just a thought.

Awww yeah... fixed it, Thanks Markyboard!!! The moog needed to be set on "last note priority".

Cool - glad you got it working
