Problem with DinSync when xoxbox in slavemode

Post by maclaren1976 »

Hi All,

im using MarOs 1.4.1
I am playing around with a different set up in my studio.
what i want to do is use my yamaha dx200 as a master and the xoxbox as a slave using MIDI.
This all works fine and as expected. I also want to connect a DIN sync modded Boss dr110
to the din sync of the xoxbox.
For some reason, in this set up, the dr110 only plays one pattern (in sync) and then stops.
the xoxbox keeps playing though..

When i change my set up around and have the xoxbox as the master and use din sync with the boss dr 110
it all plays fine in sync and it keeps playing.

anybody have any idea what could be the problem?

thanks!

there's some hack-y stuff going on in dr110 dinsync mods concerning the start/stop signal, it's kinda ugly. sounds like the start/stop signal is briefly interrupted
could there be a bug in the MarOS midi->dinsync conversion? I don't know, it's hard to say without a scope or digital logic analyser looking at the dinsync signal.

thx for the reply.

i changed a few things around in my set up. different master and slave etc
it now works in the sense that if i hit start in Renoise (master), a midi note is sent to the xoxbox to start a pattern and the dr110 starts as well and keeps looping as expected.

If, how ever, i try to change the pattern being played through MIDI, the xoxbox pattern changes but the dr 110 stops.
and i cant re-activate it with a midi note.

any one have any ideas about this?

Actually I'm also using a Kenton Thru-5 in my set up. read some where else on this forum that that might give some sync issues.
Will have to test some more.
Anybody else have issues with the Thru-5 ?

You really should try with another dinsync slave

as I said, the dr110 dinsync mod is a dirty hack (well, the start/stop part of the mod) and I don't trust it at all, I have the same and it also gives me issues
