    Question about MIDI block bypass?

    I figured out my issue with tap tempo isn't with FM3. It is with my controller (Morningstar MC8). The MC8 has several double tap and/or release functions where you can do different commands with the same footswitch. Because of this, repeated fast taps don't always send a command because it...

    Yes, I agree it's pretty standard. Just not documented in the manual. That's what confused me at first. I assumed it was a toggle behavior rather than a on/off. Now I'm trying the setup the tap tempo. Again the manual only states to assign a CC number. No value specified. My trial and error...

    I'm trying to turn on/off individual blocks via MIDI.

    Fixed BPM on the FM3 jumps 250 BPM and is locked there when receiving midi clock

    For simple delays, it's no big deal to set the timing manually like the old days. For sync'ing LFOs and sequences, it's a must to work in lock step. That is where USB MIDI is also very helpful (to say the least).

    Last time I clocked sync'd, I got it to work with MIDI DIN only. But, USB had to also be disconnected or it double clocked to the 250 max BPM. So no FM3 Edit at the same time :confused: It does seem buggy IMO. That said, I haven't extensively tested it. I was hoping USB MIDI would be...

    Anyone use the No-headphone-jack FM3 with headphones yet?

    On most mixers yes. Unity is where there is no signal cut or gain at the preamp input stage. Check your mixer’s manual. On the pic I posted above, you can see a marker “U” on the gain pots. That where unity is on my mixer. I have it slightly higher in the photo.

    Question - FX 8 midi switching

    AX8 + FX8 the "the killer app"??

    Very confused about FX8 Edit v1.6.0
