Howdy, y'all...
I'm the very proud owner of an SE-1x. I also own a Yamaha KX49 MIDI
controller, which I bought for its hundreds of flexible arpeggio
patterns (many of which you've probably heard if you have a Motif).
I thought the the SE-1x and the KX49 would be a match made in heaven,
but it turns out that most--not all, but most--of the KX49's arp
patterns won't trigger the SE-1x! When I engage the KX49's arp button,
the SE-1x will play one note and then ignore incoming MIDI signal, and
it actually takes a second (once I've disengaged the button) to
trigger again. It's killing me!
I know that the SE-1x works flawlessly when triggered by other
arpeggiators (my Triton LE, for example) and that the KX49 triggers
all my other synths (Alesis Nanobass, Peavey Spectrum bass, Korg TR-
Rack, etc.) perfectly.
Anyone have any idea what parameters I could change in the SE-1x to
make this marriage work? My only clue to untangling it all is that the
SE-1x *does* recognize the KX49's drum arps--the non-melodic
sequences. But once I try to get the SE-1x to play a bass, string,
guitar, or keyboard sequence... nothing.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Right on,
Elton

You'll have to see if the Yamaha is actually transmitting the individual arp notes via the MIDI out. (Are you connecting the SE-1x to the physical MIDI jack on the KX49?) The KX49 *may* only transmit the arpeggiated notes out the USB connection to the computer... I don't have a KX49 to tell you for sure. But if you have another MIDI interface, try routing the notes through the computer?
