Controlling with Pyramid

[Jesse Johannesen]

hi i got also massiv problems with pyramid and ndlr.

ndlr stand a lone works nice but if i bring it to the pyramid because pyramid is the brain of all.
i got heavy midi messages from the ndlr. (overload cc etc)
i tried a lot of settings ( echo off / omni mode because i use it for the other synths)

there is a huge midi echo and i cant find that. maybe u can help me ?


one question, is it possible to deactivate all the CC messages was send by ndlr? i just want to use the note on-/off .

thank you.

As far as I know there isn't a way to turn off MIDI CC messages from the NDLR, but it seem a little odd that it would be sending too much info for a device to parse. Can you tell me how your set up is connected so I can think it through and try to help problem solve the issue? Let me know what device is at the top of the chain and how its connected to the next device etc. Also is the NDLR MIDI out going into the Pyramid input while the Pyramid out is going back into the NDLR input? That seems like it could easily have the potential to cause problems. 

The other thing to note is that NDLR passes just about all MIDI info it receives on down stream, so if it's receiving 16 channels of highly modulated MIDI data upstream, that will likely be passed down the line into the next device. 

The only thing that I can think of to solve this "simply" would be to place a midi filter somewhere in the chain and block CC data while allowing Note On/Off data. There are a number of devices that could probably do this (MIDI PAL/ALF/GAL, PC with MIDIOx, even an I phone with a midi dongle) but while I say "simply" configuring such a filter as with any MIDI projects can be a headache, which is why it would be better to see if it's something else with the setup causing the problem, and try to solve it there instead. 

Best Regards,
