I do it easily with an IMP machine, a trig on a dedicated track and delays/reverb of the MD. I cue my octatrack to the MD input A, and then I can tweak the OT sound cued to the MD.
I’m using M2 in the sound selection. I’ve set up an INP>GA, and that’s about it. I have no idea how to do the rest. I must be the stupidest person on these boards, I know
If you can hear the source then you’re doing OK. If not, turn VOL up, GATE down, ATCK down, HLD up, DEC up.
Once you can hear the source you can use the Track Effects (Track Effects page) and send the sound to the MD’s delay, reverb, and compressor from the Routing page. (If you don’t know about these, then go back to the Quick Start guide in the manual.)
What happens when you assign a regular synth machine to the problematic track (after you have loaded the empty kit)?[/quote]
I don have a problematic track I think. If I load a normal synth machine on any track it works like it’s supposed to. Maybe I’m not explaining properly. Would love something step-by-step or similar.
I load an empty kit, plug my external synth in A input, and the sound goes through. I don’t think I can explain any better unfortunately.
The input is assigned to the track where you set the INP machine. Once this machine set, just press a trig on record mode (first step is better) on this track. Then your input is correctly set and you can use delay/rev/etc. on your synth.
