JLCooper FaderMaster Pro - Manual (Page 42)

Solutions To Looping Problems
First, turn off the sequencer’s “thru” feature.
The “thru” feature of the sequencer may not needed anyway, if
the studio is equipped with a sophisticated MIDI patch bay
processor, such as JLCooper’s Synapse.
These allow you to leave “thru” turned off on your sequencer,
and still have the ability to hear a keyboard control a module
during both record and playback.
If your sequencer has a “MIDI data input filter”, use it. Make
sure that when FaderMaster Pro is connected, the sequencer
will only record MIDI controller data. That way, a 32 or more
track sequence of notes, pitch bend, etc. will not loop around
and get re-recorded onto the sequencer.
Try also to avoid another loop created by the MIDI Interface, if
the MIDI Interface features a built-in MIDI patch bay. (Such as
the MIDI Time Piece or MIDI Time Piece 2 from Mark of the
Unicorn, or the Studio 4 or 5 from Opcode). Be careful that you
have not routed the MIDI Out of FaderMaster Pro back into its
own MIDI input.
Likewise, a powerful patchbay-interface might allow you to
send the musical tracks (notes, bend, etc.) of a sequence out of
one MIDI cable, to control a rack of tone modules.
And the controller tracks can go out of another MIDI cable, to
pass through FaderMaster Pro. This would prevent the
accidental looping and re-recording of music tracks.
