Stop sequencer command in SVQ

Stop sequencer command in SVQ

Is there a way to stop the sequencer with somekind of command in a svq-file? I need to stop the sequencer in the middle of a song but i need my two hands (and feet) to play.

You should find a SysEx command in the MIDI implementation that will stop the sequencer. However, what sense it makes if the song will stop at the same point in time - it's easier to delete the portion after you want it to stop. Also, I think you can assign the control pedal to stop the sequencer.

the meaning is after the song stopped i begin to play an intro of another song and start song some seconds later on my command. But i cant stop the sequencer because my hands and feet are busy.

i looked for a SysEx but coundn't find one in the implemantationchart. should look again and beter.

Hi,

or maybe, ... if you need to restart the song from an other position after you have stopped it :

it's possible to copy the first part of your song to a Pattern -> and assign this pattern with RPS to a not used key or PAD.

If you need to restart the song (second part) , copy this part to an other pattern and assign this pattern (RPS) to a different not used key or PAD.

1. If you need to start is physically, why can't you stop it physically?
2. Why not insert some silence (blank measures) where you need it?

This might work:

- Copy all song tracks into pattern P001.
- Empty all song tracks.
- Delete all bars in all song tracks.
- Create a pattern call to pattern P001 in a song track.
- Add bars tot the song track. If you want playback to stop at bar, let's say, 64 add 63 bars to the song.

Now when you press play, playback will stop at the desired moment.

I you want to be able to play the same song entirely, assign pattern P001 to a pad. Ajust pad settings so that it will playback pattern P001 once. Don't forget to assign a "stop"-pad as well, just in case you hit your "start"-pad accidentally.

You'll need to insert the SysEx command

F0 7F 7F 06 01 F7

into the sequence at the point where you wish to stop the song. See page 310 of the Fantom-X Owner's Manual for an explanation of what each of those bytes represents. It doesn't matter which track you insert that command into.

Nsheldon,

The SysEx F0 7F 7F 06 01 F7 does not work on my X8. I've changed the parameter MMC Mode to slave (like told in the manual).

Does the SysEx work on your Fantom?

I just tried it out and it indeed does not work by inserting that SysEx message into the sequence despite the System->Sync/Tempo settings. I also tried putting that SysEx in a Pattern track, assigning that track to a Dynamic Pad with RPS and pressing that pad to trigger the stop without success. It would appear that despite the MIDI Implementation in the manual, the Fantom's sequencer does not recognize such messages when they come from itself, only from external MIDI.

I've got some friends that are Software Engineers...when I find things like this they always say; "It's not a bug, it's a FEATURE!

Drives me nuts ! :)
