The volume control sends MIDI

Post by koenig »

It seems as if the volume control sends MIDI. This is a bit of a bother for me, since I plan to use the Solaris as a MIDI controller as well and one way to handle such a setup is to be able to turn the volume knob manually, thus phasing out the Solaris in favour for the MIDI synth.

Now, I tried this and the problem was that I could turn the volume knob on the Origin to make that sound enter the picture but when I tried to do the opposite on the Solaris the result was that both synths were turned down, volume wise.

Is there a way to change this behaviour?

Did you try turning off MIDI Volume on the MIDI page? (SYSTEM/MIDI)

I have experimented with this and am rather confused. Today I played for a while and everything worked - I could turn either volume knob and there was no interference. I then tried to set the MIDI volume to ON but nothing happened.

Later this evening I switched on the Solaris and the problem returned. I went to the MIDI settings page but the volume was OFF. I changed it to ON and then back to off but to no avail. Frustrating to have a behaviour that I cannot understand, nor recreate.

I will keep on fiddling

Do you have the Origin or any other device that could be sending MIDI Volume commands plugged in to the MIDI In of the Solaris?

The Origin is the only thing plugged in, which is done via proper MIDI. I have not noticed (I tried this) that turning the volume knob on the Origin has any effect on the Solaris.
