I assume you mean you've connected your sources to the line inputs of the VS (not aux).

Something must be getting to the VS as meters are moving. Faders up?

Carn't access any manuals at the moment, no pdf reader installed. My system had a torjan virus late last week, and I'm trying to re-build the OS of my lappy.

Whats up friend i have everything hook up now and what i would like to know is what should be the setting in the MC 909 for it work properly in this connection setup? I say this because when i press play on the MV 8000 the mc 909 plays. This shouldn't be happening, what should i do with the 909? Thanks.

Not too sure what you mean here..

Are you saying you don't want to have the MV-8000 control the MC-909?
So what roll does the MC-909 have?

What I'm saying is i don't want the 909 playing when i press play on the MV 8000. The 909 is suppose to be a used as a sound module sharing perimeter a with the Fantom x6. Now what i have going on is go to a previously recorded track were ive used the famtom i'm not hearing anything when i press the keys even to preview the sound.

I'll try an remember what I wrote..

I think I see what might be occurring:

The MV-8000 is sending out MIDI clock, along with Start / Stop commands.
It could also be sending MMC (MIDI Machine Control).
At least it's getting MIDI information, so that's a positive start.

If you go to the sync screen (P165 of manual), you can decide which MIDI outs have MIDI clock, and MMC assigned to them.

My concern is, the Fantom might need MIDI clock so that certain functions work correctly, MIDI clocked LFO's for example.
So try and disable the MMC on the necessary MIDI out to begin with, see if that stops the MC-909 springing into life.
According to the MC-909's manual, if you go to the system menu, you can select F1 to take you to the MIDI page, and if the sync mode is set to 'Master' then it should ignore MIDI clock commands. This is why I think it's MMC that's making the MC-909 start up when you hit play on the MV-8000.

Are you able to 'play' patches within the MC-909 from you controller keyboard, as your question seemed to change slightly..

I assume the MV has a form of 'soft thru' function with it's sequencer.
It should be a case of MIDI out from the Fantom, to MIDI in of the MV, Out from the MV back to the Fantom (local control should really be off on the Fantom). The MIDI thru of the Fantom sends a copy of data received at the Fantom's MIDI in, so this should be connected to the MIDI in of the MC-909.

You will need to decide what Fantom, and the MC-909 plays. Both are receiving the same MIDI data.
Depending on how the MC-909 is arranged, it could just be a simple case of writing a performance on the Fantom that uses the 'unused' MIDI channels of the MC-909.
Or you could reverse that, and have the Fantom set in stone, and the decide what part the MC-909 plays.
Both instruments can have access to the 16 MIDI channels, but you have to decide who plays what.


New reply, and added a little more info, so I'm hoping this one gets through!

It made it
