I cant get my mbase working properly.. Having trouble to trigger the mbase trough midi notes.
Setup : Mbase connected with an audio cable to input 3 on my interface (echo audiofire 12)
Midi in & out connected
Im using Ableton, I guess theres the problem.. because when I push the play button on my mbase i can hear sound. But i cant trigger my mbase with midi notes. There was 1 way i could trigger them, but then i got some sort of delay on it.. so that was the wrong way.
Probably a simple solution, but cant seem to get it right.
Grtz

You might be dealing with a bit of latency. Set your buffer on your driver as low as you can without it glitching. The way i have had the most fun is triggering the mbase with the audio trigger in. Setup a track in ableton and creat a pattern with a short perc sound like a rimshot. Send that track to one of your extra outputs on the Echo. Plug the output cable to the trigger input on the mbase and you will have hours of fun.

Are you using the midi on the audiofire? In my experience, midi and audio should be handled separately. The motu 5 channel midi interfaces are nice.
Also, are you running the mbase through a compressor or something before routing it back into Ableton? That will cause a delay that will need compensated for in Ableton.
The Mbase is probably setup to use a certain note (C2, D3, whatever) for triggers and can possibly be altered to whatever you want. Make sure the midi channel's match in Ableton and on the Mbase.
Hope that helps

Re: Problem with my Mbase 11
guys, what about having trouble with a normal audio signal trigged into the mbase?
i'm not sure if I should change thread but it seems specifc about triggering this device.
it's kind of difficult to handle.
let's say that i plug an audio output form a mixer directly to the mbase.
i need to set the trigger level very high. 250. sometimes it's going crazy and get to much trig input, but when i lower the level by 1, then is not enough!!!!???
is that normal or what?
thanks, J
