Keep in mind the edge is meant to work in concert with the crave. The crave will do midi to pitch cv. I use it to pitch my dfam sometimes. Usualy i use the Beatstep pro in that role. but the crave will do midi to pitch.

An oddity I noticed is, if you have the "Seq Pitch Mod" selected to anything other than "off", when you play a note via midi input, the Edge triggers another note (whatever is on the current sequencer step) on key release / midi note off. If you are playing the Edge with a keyboard, make sure you have "Seq Pith Mod" selected to off.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean by "no MIDI reset", but I find that my edge (stock firmware) always reverts to step 1 when I hit play in Reaper. I'm only outputting the clock pulse over USB but even if I select "do not send reset message" in the MIDI menu it will not begin from any step other than 1. Maybe you're referring to resetting on the fly? IDK just my 2 cents.
@StarskyCarr3 ай бұрын
No idea tbh. Maybe there’s been a firmware update or maybe I was talking about resetting at any point ie resetting ad hoc at any point eg after 5 steps to create a 5 step loop then after 7 steps then after 3 for either semi random or polymetric stuff. Probably the latter.
@RaquelFoster Жыл бұрын
The way the Edge responds to MIDI notes is VERY strange. If SEQ PITCH MOD is off, it just plays the MIDI notes. It triggers the envelope, then when you release the key it stops. If you press TRIGGER on the Edge it will replay the last MIDI note it got. But if SEQ PITCH MOD is on, when you release the note, instead of stopping, the oscillator pitch changes to the pitch of the active step and it keeps playing for the normal decay time. Many Moog synths treat the last MIDI note received as a base note and then CV gets added to (or transposes) that note. That's what my Minitaur does, so I can turn it into a DFAM with a Korg SQ-1, and then I can send MIDI notes which transpose the pattern from the SQ-1 using CV. But what the Edge does seems more like a bug.

I have it recieving midi and I'm able to play notes on my controller via 5 pin DIN and I have the USB plugged into my PC (windows 10) but cannot work out how to make the edge work when I flick the switch to USB midi. Is there any possible chance you could do a short tutorial on the simplest possible way to have a DAW run the Edges clock? Thanks mate!

It depends on the DAW tbh. I’m Logic you have to set the individual MiDI outputs to send clock for example. I think it’s sent by default on Ableton, but can’t remember how it works on Cubase, I’ve not touched it for about 10 years now. You need to press play on the Edge - which is a big one!

Transmitting MIDI clock which has swing built into the data stream is a pretty rare and actually unreliable way of doing things...because different manufacturers interpret that fluctuating clock data differently. I'm surprised the Cobalt actually transmits MIDI clock with swing built in. Generally it's best to adjust swing value on the sequencer itself if the device's internal sequencer has swing adjustment. I'm not sure if Edge's internal sequencer has swing, but if you have an external sequencer with swing that generates analog clock pulses (e.g. Pioneer DJ Toraiz Squid), you can drive the Edge with that and swing all you want.
