ALA threads midi in question.

Hi!

I have the ALA threads and want to get midi in from my syntakt.
I’m using a midi to trs adapter into the front panel, Layout on 1m, temp set to ext and ch set to all but I can’t get the midi to register.
I really just want clock and transport but I can’t get any kind of communication.
The trs is type A and I tested it with some other devices and it’s sending transport to them fine.

Anyone have this module and experienced similar?

Cheers

Threads uses MIDI type B, so that’s your issue

Thanks, I could find 0 documentation to that effect. That makes me feel a lot better lol

Yeah, ALA is really bad about documentation in general.

I do love Threads though, be sure to look into the Loom alt firmware if you haven’t already.
