CRAVE - How to use Arpeggiator with an external MIDI clock

[lbassignani]

Hi,

pretty new on here.

I have a BEHRINGER CRAVE which receive a MIDI CLOCK from Cubase via USB.

It all works as then the CRAVE send the correct the MIDI click to my JUNO arpeggiator.

However,

the arpeggiator on my CRAVE stops working. How do I use it while the device receives the MIDI clock from the DAW?

I don't have Crave, but do have a few other Behringer synths. A possibility is the Synthtribe app? All of the Behringer units have various settings that can be changed/enabled/disabled from the app. I remember my Monopoly had issues with the arp, so I hooked it up to Synthtribe and changed the ppq settings, and from vague memory the default wasn't to receive DIN MIDI clock, so that had to be enabled. Any Behringer unit with arps/clocks can be set to internal/USB/DIN (which is midi). MIDI channel can be set as well, which is easier than those fiddly dipswitches some of their synths have. Worth doing it if for nothing else you can update the synth OS via Synthtribe, I'd be surprised if Crave hasn't had some updates by now. They actually fix quite a few bugs via updates to OS but it has to be done via Synthtribe. The one app covers all of their synths.

Go to the Behringer homepage and it's somewhere in downloads, I think there's a couple of routes to get it IIRC. Load up the latest Synthtribe app and run it, connect your Crave via USB and power up, then Synthtribe should recognise Crave and give you an opening page with options such as settings, updates etc. I updated all of my Behringer synths a few days ago and some were a bit picky about what order you power them up. Some had to have Synthtribe on, then turn off the synth and turn it back on again before it got recognised. And I had to reload Synthtribe for some of them. It's pretty easy though. It really sounds to me like a clock setting in Synthtribe.

I have a Model 15 and the SynthTribe software has options for setting the MIDI In and Out channels, but then there is also the DIP switches. There is no way to disable either but I guess only one can work at a time. Do you know how this works?
