keystep + volca bass via midi

[k2kthedj]

Hi all.

I have a problem with keystep and volca. im trying to use keystep as a keyboard for volca. i connect them with midi cable (arturia midi out), both on the same channel, im not changing anything in MIDI center. dipswitches are on sync in, and no sound, nothing. i can use play/stop button from arturia to play/stop sequencer on volca.

any ideas what to do??

You could try different switch settings to see if that's the problem.  I know that I mis-read the patterns thinking that the Black points where what the switch position was supposed to be but it's inverted.

Set the dip switches to "internal" as the Keystep is the master.  That will allow the Keystep to run on its internal clock.  It shouldn't matter really, but also set the Volca to receive MIDI short messages.

i figured that out. white one indicates switches. i tried all combinations and nothing.
