midi connection problems....

[beat_banger]

sup folks.. hopefully someone here can help me out..
ok i have an
-akai mpc 3k
-ensoniq asr 10
-korg triton classic

i have these 3 units hooked up in the following ways..
mpc is the master clock and the other 2 units are slaves..
i am coming
mpc out-> to triton in
then
triton out -> to asr in
then asr out -> to mpc in.

now everything is synced up perfect in the sense that the asr and the triton both recognize and sync to the mpc..
the problem is that if i hit track 8 on the triton it triggers whatever sound i have loaded in track 8 of the asr 10 also..
this also happens vice-versa..
anyway to stop this..??
what i have been doing is lowering the volume of track 8 on the triton if i want to use track 8 on the asr 10...
is there an easier way to do this???
thanks

Is the triton is transmitting on midi channel 8 or set to omni, is there a midi filter on the triton so you can filter out that message from the triton. You could get a Midi splitter box this will split the midi from the mpc to both units I hope the diagram below helps

mmmm

I think you should be going "thru" on the Triton and the ASR both...
Going "out" of these devices will cause them to transmit their own information into the other devices sometimes messing things up...

Thru will pass the information from the MPC into the Triton and the Triton (using thru) will pass the unchanged MIDI information on to the ASR...

That may kill the problem right there...
Let me know...

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the MPC have 2 MIDI inputs and 2 MIDI outputs?

If that is the case (it is on my MPC 1000) then setup as follows...

MPC Out A --->Triton In
Triton Out ---> MPC In 1
MPC Out B --->ASR 10 In
ASR 10 out--->MPC In 2

Set the MPC to send sync Information out both outputs...
Set the Triton & ASR 10 to Midi Clock External and Turn OFF local machine control and your in business...
