Yocto midi out what does it do

Discuss Yocto construction and related issues
  • MIDI out is there because the yocto sequencer outputs MIDI data
    it outputs MIDI sync (so you can slave another device with it), and it probably also outputs the note mapped from the drums as they're played (so you can send them into a drum module, or record them into a DAW, etc..)

    MIDI sync has no "channel", notes do
  • Hey guys

    I am all built and working but I am confused by the midi out.

    Midi in, din sync in and expander mode work but not midi out

    I assume it sends out midi start/stop and tempo info from the sequencer but I cannot get it to start my analog four.

    Am i missing something?

    Is Your A4 setup to recieve clk, start + stop?
  • Hey man

    Thanks for the reply.

    Yeah the a4 is set up for clock receive and transport receive but not starting from the yocto.

    Is there anything I need to do on the yocto to initialise the midi out?

    I’m assuming I should just have it in pattern play mode and hit start and it should send out midi clock?

    Cheers as always.
  • Just for the record:

    The current code only sends Clock and start/stop. No midi note output is implemented.
    It's quite easy to implement, but there should also be a way to turn it off imho, and providing a decent mechanism for settings like this is more advanced.
    Get the latest unofficial Yocto V1 firmware here.
    Be sure to check the revised manual.

    Yes this is the Output of MIDI Out. I like that the code will send all notes and without start/stop like a standaard MIDI Out
    Then it's possible to send all data to another Midi systems or making backup on you PC. When I use the MIDI-out to DAW the program is stuck because the Sync Clock.

    Maybe somebody can adjust the Firmware for this. For both Yocto V2 and Nava V1.02 so that the user make a choice.
    I use the follow firmware yocto_v2_002 and Nava_v1_027 For programming I use a TL866 programmer.

    I made a hardware interface for the trigger signals. You can adjust the pulse width and use it for the outputs Trigger1, Rimshot and Handclaps for trigger my another sequencers and Modular Systems. So it's better to remove the the sync/trigger signals from the MIDI.

    Cheers Jos
