Midi Feedback Loop - Will Pay ££$$

Hey Guys


So i bought a Roland JDXI external Synth a couple of months back, its hooked up to my DAW Via 2 midi cables and 2 audio L R cables.


Each time i go to load an audio track or external track and select the outputs the Synth is hooked up to (1/2) I get a Midi feedback loop, which is like a distorted loop and can not control the synth so it is not a note stuck on the unit itself.


I have rang Roland, reset all drivers and such, and they said i need to make a new environment just for the external itself and not have all the presets like the electro piano Logic pro x suggests when you load such a track.


Its driving me mad and i really want to use the unit.


Any ideas how i can stop this loop will be highly appreciated too.

Also the loop occurs when the USB is plugged in.


Willing to pay $$££ to whoever solves the issue.


Thanks

Check the JDXI manual and see if it has a MIDI Thru function, if so you need to disable it.


The other possibility is a Control Surface problem, in the upper left Logic menu, go to Preferences/Control Surfaces and select "Bypass All Control Surfaces". (At least that's where it is on Logic 9)

Hi Ben,


You said something odd in an earlier post, quote: "Each time i go to load an audio track or external track and select the outputs the Synth is hooked up to (1/2) I get a Midi feedback loop, which is like a distorted loop and can not control the synth so it is not a note stuck on the unit itself."


It sounds to me like you're speaking of an Audio track (1/2), I can't tell if you're getting an audio loop from the JD's Vocoder/Mic or if it's an actual MIDI loop which doesn't usually sound like that.


Just looked at the manual... The JDXi has a SOFT THRU if it is enabled.... Disable it.


Check that now and post back.
