Machinedrum lfo's and external gear

Elektron Gear Machinedrum
#1

So I am trying to make the machinedrums lfo’s do cool things to external gear’s parameters. But for some reason cant get it to function properly. Some one got any idea of what I am not doing right here?

THings I have triple checked-

correct cc being sent.
both devices are able to send/receive midi data.
correct channel

Any thing else i am missing? I mean I thought I could surely get the lfo’s to control the “ccvX” knobs of midi machines, and there by extension control the other synths parameters this way. Is this not possible?

#2

it is! I think what’s essential is that you put a trig somewhere on that MIDI track.
needs to be trigged once so the CCs send out…

but I’ve found that MID machines can kinda act buggy when e.g. copying them between tracks… I don’t feel like typing this out though it’s kinda convoluted lol. good luck!

So i cant have a free running lfo w/o trigs on the track? Lame ill try trigs too then, thanks. If you ever feel like typing the convoluted stuff, let me know! Info is great :3

#4

try just trigging the track once manually, should work too.

#5

You know i tried that last night and still didnt get it to work. Ill tty again tonight though :3

#6

hit it with a stick?

#7

Lol clearly the only way to fix. I believe thats even in the manual xD

#8

i found the issue: the track was muted. Believe that uh?

LoL
