this was sent from a few days ago, sorry I didn't get to it sooner: At 10:19 AM 9/4/2002, Brother Sean wrote: >Can the EDP send a midi start or stop command when sent a specific note >value? > >I think this is possible but not sure.

You have the sections "Commanding a StartSong when Sync=in", "QuantMIDIStartSong" command, and "MuteQuantMIDIStartSong" command. http://www.aurisis.com/products/loopIV/LoopIVGuide.pdf basically: commanding a startsong when sync=in: While in reset with clock coming, press the Undo button. This will send a startsong immediately and reset the EDP's idea of where Beat 1 of the sequencer is to that point. You can also "press" the undo button by midi, using the midi command for undo. QuantMIDIStartSong: midi command is source# + 40, or note 76 from default settings. When this command is received a StartSong message is sent at the next startpoint of the loop. (as determined by the 8ths/cycle parameter and the EDP's current understanding of where the downbeat in the midi clock is.) MuteQuantMIDIStartSong: midi command is source# + 41, or note 77 from default settings. This is just like QuantMIDIStartSong, except the loop is muted first. At the startpoint it unmutes and sends the StartSong. >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.
