MIDI setup with Dwarf

[Roachmanfwa]

Hi, there! I’m thinking of trying to control an external midi program through my Dwarf. Is there anybody here doing that currently and if so, how did you connect things together, and what is the signal flow?

My Dwarf is controlled by a Morningstar MC6 with midi over USB, and the Dwarf controls a Kernom Ridge with a stereo jack.
Nearly no problem with both.

@Rom: ‘nearly’? What does that mean?

I’m wanting to incorporate some midi programs on a laptop, so I’d be dealing with USB MIDI, I think. The main thing I’m trying to figure out is how to wire it all together. Maybe have to do trial and error.

The Dwarf has trouble recieving midi messages from the MC6 sometimes :

Midi from USB not coming in since 1.13.2

okay… I’ve reproduced the problem, in fact 2 problems : my main pedalboard uses 83% of the CPU, it seams that when the Dwarf heats a bit, it doesn’t respond to midi messages. When it happens, if I switch to a 256 buffer, restart the, everything goes to normal. when too many mini messages are send at the same time, the Dwarf take only 2 or 3 messages. I’ve put a delay time between each messages in the Morningstar configuration, and everything is okay when I set a 4ms delay.

But sending messages from the Dwarf to the MC6 or to the Kernom Ridge never faild me
