Setting up the MIDI trigger channel on a Waldorf Streichfett
Switch on Streichfett and wait for a few seconds. While holding all 4 memory buttons play a note to Streichfett via MIDI on the channel that
This was trickier to do than I had thought. What worked for me was the following (I used the arturia beatstep pro for this):
make sure the streichfett and beatstep pro are on separate power circuits and off
turn on the beatstep pro
on a free/unused sequencer pattern, press the [-] Octave button three times.
after the octave has been set to its lowest value, enter a few C notes (perhaps on beat).
using the knobs on the beatstep pro, adjust each C note all the way down to C-0 (lowest possible note).
test the pattern by hitting play on the beatstep pro.
set the channel for the current sequencer to the desired value (note that you might not be able to use channel 16, and if you are doing split-mode setup, you cannot use a channel higher than 14; see link below)
ensure the beatstep pro midi out is connected to midi in on the streichfett
turn on the streichfett
immediately hold down all 4 memory buttons on the streichfett
count to 10, slowly
press play on the beatstep pro to start the sequence of C-0 notes.
the streichfett should miss one or two notes and then start playing C-0 at whatever settings are configured.
Troubleshooting
If the streichfett is not responding, check to make sure that you're using a valid and good midi-out cable on the beatstep pro.
check the volume level on the streichfett
ensure that the playback channel on the beatstep pro matches the one you want, and is not set higher than 15 for normal mode or 14 for split mode. See: https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/3xq6kz/midi_settings_on_a_streichfett/
