My set up is the following:
MPC set to MASTER.
Virus TI2 set to SLAVE
Virus OUT ---> MPC IN 2
Virus IN <---- MPC OUT B
MIDI Keyboard ---> MPC IN 1
I have problems that just won't go away when recording onto a MPC MIDI track the arpeggios notes generated by the TI2.
When the MPC is recording, either the TI2 arpeggiator doesn't work, or stops after a few notes, or the timing seems messed up. (The problem occurs the same if I use a MIDI keyboard directly connected to the Virus, as opposed to connected to the MPC IN 1).
I researched the problem on the web, and came up with this :
https://support.novationmusic.…n-arpeggio-to-a-sequencer
Based on this article I did one MIDI track on the MPC, recorded the "seed" notes on this track, then I did a second MIDI track (in MUTE state to prevent any data sending), to receive the arpeggio notes when recording. This approach is cumbersome but seems to work: the arpeggio notes are recorded but then when playing these arpeggio notes (with "ARP" OFF on the Virus), the timing (and sometimes the sound) is all messed up.
What is wrong in my process ??
Is there a more reliable or better way to record the arpeggiator MIDI notes onto my MPC1000 ??
Thanks !!
