Hello Ajam. So, my EVM was not sending clock out no matter what I did. I thought it could be the case that my EVM OS should be updated. I checked the version and saw it was V1.2. I went to the website and could find no OS downloads specific to the EVM. Then I remembered this video in which we have you saying that the EVM is the same as the Event, just in a different form factory, so I thought that all the available OS updates for the Event would work just fine for my EVM. So I updated the OS all the way up to V3.0. In between one OS update and other, I decided to test the EVM to see if the newer OS version had the midi clock issue fixed, and I noticed V1.3 had it working fine and I could see clock being sent to my midi interface. I decided to continue the upgrade up to V3.0. When I finished, I decided to test the EVM just to see that the device is completely in silence. It emmits no sounds anymore. I can see activity in the UI when I start the styles, but can hear nothing. I tried to check for volume adjustments, but could not find anything that solves the problem. Also, the front panel lights are dead and the beep sound emmited when we turn the device on and off is gone too. On version 3.0 the clock send is not working either. So... I guess I screwed up, right? Is there a way to revert what I've done? Is there a factory reset option on the device?
Great Job Ketron, Kudos for your innovation, and thanks a lot AJ for presenting this product. You never mentioned that, so I'll ask - and if its impossible right now, it could be a great idea to improve this product in future. So, my question is, whether its possible to set up a midi keyboard in a way that it will be able to send midi commands for fills, variation changes, registration selection, etc. to EVM / and event to Event X (assuming that the midi keyboard has the buttons)? The same goes for sliders and even an integration with equipment like korg nano pads... I think this would solve the "drawback" of not having a tactile feeling of pressing the actual button... Thank you
Yes. Must be a midi keyboard controller that can transmit Midi SysEx messages (usally found in high end Midi controllers and not many Arrager keyboards). This way, you simply put in the appropriate SysEx code (found at the end of teh EVENT Technical specs table) for start/stop, fill, break etc and trigger/control the entire EVM from your Midi controller.
You can with high-end Midi controllers that have SysEX. This way, you use SysEX codes to map out the buttons on your midi controller to the buttons on the EVM. Best combination.
@@AjamSonic does it mean the EVM can only be controlled with pedals that use SysEx? I bought my EVM. it will get here in some days, but I expect to use pedals such as FCB1010 or my Nektar Pacer to control it the same way as I control the Pa5X. The Pa has a table of midi messages for the purpose in its manual. Does the EVM offer similar functionality?
Greetings. Ofcourse it will come to the UK. Check with the UK distributor. We also have some UK customers who would rather purchase from us due to the product and after-sales support we offer to all our customers, national and international.
Yes - with any Midi controller keybaord that has the capability to transmit Midy SysEx messages (usually NOT found in arranger keyboards but top of the line Midi controllers).
No. The only feature the EVENT shares with the LOUNGE is the STEM and PLAYER features. The Lounge is a player (no styles); the EVENT Is both a player and arranger (with styles).
