Pearl 2004 and MIDI - some useful points i have found...
Posted: 15 May 2006, 21:32
a couple of useful points to note when triggering the pearl 2004 from an external MIDI device:
firstly it reacts very slowly to the incoming command (in MIDI terms anyway).
You need to delay the MIDI commands by about 100ms
but if you're sending a page change command you need to delay the next command by 1000ms (an eternity in MIDIland apparently)
This took a lot of experimentation and gaining the ability (a la Matrix) to 'see' behind the code via the MIDI debug terminal.
hope this helps someone one day - it would have helped me!!
