I have read the manual thoroughly and I cannot get MIDI clock in to be recognized by TERRA, nor for MIDI clock out from TERRA to be recognized by an external synth. I have all setting in external synth set correctly. I can’t remember which firmware version I am using. It is either 1.41 or 1.6.
-Terra does not send MIDI clock out (the arpeggiator can’t be used to trigger other synths).
-Make sure both sending and receiving synth are on the same MIDI channel
-Make sure there is no instrument or MIDI gear in between Terra and the sending/receiving instrument
-Try another MIDI cable
-only the TERRA LFO and arpeggiator will respond to external MIDI tempo
-if you want to use Terra as controller of another synth, make sure the receiving synth is able to receive the MIDI information that Terra is sending. Terra has different MIDI modes, and not all of them will work with every synth:
— The A-D, 1-12 sensors are transmitted as CC messages, the Gyroscope as pitchbender.
— A-D as CC messages, 1-12 as notes with velocity, Gyroscope as pitchbender.
— MPE Mode (MIDI Polyphonic Expression).
—TERRA’s Interface as a group of CC controllers.
In this mode, you can use TERRA as 16 high-sensitivity controllers for controlling MIDI instruments.
If you believe your TERRA is not functioning correctly, please contact SOMA tech support at [email protected] and provide a video where you demonstrate the problem, along with the serial number, your location, date of purchase, and place of purchase.
Please update the firmware to the latest version 1.6 before contacting customer support, and try all the suggestions above:
