I can't get a Yamaha AW2816 workstation to take midi commands from a Boss DR-770 drum machine. (I can't get it to work the other way around, either.) I've followed both of the manuals step by step, but none of the recommended configurations work.
Yamaha users out there already know that Yamaha manuals are written by aliens from another galaxy. Nevertheless, I have every reason to believe I'm doing everything right according to the manuals. And that's what's so frustrating.
The only thing I haven't tried yet is setting up a tempo map in the Yamaha. I've avoided this because a) it seems like an unnecessary step and b) because that method is recommended for when you want to use the Yamaha as the master and the other device as the slave. In my case, I'd like to enslave the Yamaha to the drum machine.
All I really want to do, as you might have guessed, is take a drum "song" that I've stitched together on the DR-770 and send it, sound by sound and pass by pass, to separate tracks of the Yamaha through the independent output of the DR-770. To layer the sounds on the Yamaha, I need to synch up the two machines.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
