strange repeater behavior

["dp" <criminy@mail.utexas.edu>]

another midi question someone may be able to help me with:

 

so, i'm using my fcb1010 to control both my echoplex and repeater; the fcb1010 goes to my echoplex and the echoplex's midi thru is going to my repeater's midi in.  this usually works fine, but occasionally when i'm controlling the echoplex, the repeater will get a midi command that will reset the tempo at around 1bpm or will reset the pitch of a track to an octave higher.

 

im using NOTES for the echoplex control and i was sure to put the NOTE commands on a different channel.  i also double-checked to make sure that all the fcb1010 switches for the echoplex were only sending NOTES and no CCs or PCs.

 

any ideas?

 

Thanks,

dp
