EDP midi start/stop commands

["Brother Sean" <info@brothersean.com>]

Can the EDP send a midi start or stop command when sent a specific note value?

I think this is possible but not sure. I’m using Loop IV with my EDP but haven’t quite been able to get this to work.

 

THE REASON I NEED THIS FUNCTIONALITY IS BELOW:

I use an akai MPC2000xl as my sequencer and it is driving an old roland CR-78 drum machine.

My problem is I want my CR-78 to be able to start and stop in the middle of my mpc2000xl sequence. But no one

knows how to get the akai to send out midi start and stop commands in the middle of a sequence. When I press start

or stop on the akai that works great and sends a midi start or stop command to the CR-78 but in the middle of a sequence

I have no control.

 

So my plan is to have my midi clock run from my akai -> EDP -> CR78. I can send note values all day long from the akai

to anything. So if there are note values that will make the EDP send midi start/stop messages that should work cause then

it will drive the CR78 rather than the akai. What do you think?

 

Any advice/help is much appreciated!
