[SOLVED] Help Needed: OT MKII Midi Learn from Arturia Microfreak

Please lock this or let me know and I’ll delete if this question has been asked a ton of times. Trying to figure out what I’m doing wrong as the OT isn’t really responding to MIDI learn from the Arturia Microfreak.

I can send MIDI Notes to the MF but I can’t seem to use the MIDI learn function to control the MF’s parameters using the OT. I can if I do it manually and match using the MIDI Implementation Chart of the MF but wanted to give MIDI Learn a shot. Display keeps waiting for MIDI Signal but nothing really happens even if I tweak the knobs on the MF.

What am I doing wrong? Or is this a classic case of no can do bro?

Settings:

  • OT MIDI Out to MF MIDI In
  • MF MIDI Out to MF MIDI In
  • OT MIDI settings: Transport Send On and Clock Send On (everything else not selected)

Thank you in advance. :peace_symbol:

Are you sure the MicroFreak is sending MIDI CCs from the front panel? There is a setting for that in the Utility menu.

Are you sure the MicroFreak is sending on the right MIDI Channel and the OT is listening on that channel?

Thank you for replying!

Re: Microfreak sending CCs, yes - I’ve turned “KNOBS SEND CC” off and on to make sure I’ve tweaked this setting.

I checked the MF’s channel settings: Input 1, Output 1.

I’ve set OT Midi T1 channel to 1.

How do I check the channel where the OT is receiving MIDI information from?

Ho ho ho. Found it. Writing it down here for others’ reference.

OT’s auto channel is 11 so I just had to set the MF’s output channel to 11.

Problem solved!

Mods, feel free to lock this and thank you in advance!
