Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorQuote:Has anyone been able to connect their 4500 to a drum machine with midi?
It would be nice to do loops longer than 4,8 bars and also have them quantized.
Thank you
I think the best thing to do is first check the MIDI Notes & Tips section of the 45000 manual, it’s on page 18. Here are some important points from those notes:
1. Quantize needs to be enabled on the 45000 prior to recording a loop that is synced to MIDI clock otherwise the loop length will not be a perfect number of bars (it could be any number of bars, each bar is 4 beats). If your loop is not a perfect number of bars than even if the tempos between the devices are synced, the loop will sound off as compared to your MIDI Clock master after the loop cycles once or twice.
2. Whether the 45000’s Ext. Sync is set to Full or Beat Sync modes, the 45000 still needs to receive a MIDI Start signal from the MIDI Clock master to know where the master is located within the context of a bar. For Beat Sync mode (also called Clock-Only mode in the manual), you can start the MIDI Clock master before you press NEW LOOP on the 45000.
3. The 45000 takes time to catch up to a drastically new tempo from the MIDI clock master. By drastically new tempo we mean a sudden tempo change greater than 5% of the previous tempo. Some MIDI clock masters output MIDI clock all the time, this is the best case for the 45000 as it will always follow the MIDI clock tempo changes even if the 45000 is not playing back at the moment. Other MIDI masters only output MIDI clock when they are playing, if you have this type of MIDI master and change the tempo on the 45000 while the units were stopped then the 45000 will need at least 1 bar to catch up to the new tempo. When this occurs you hear wild pitch changes in your 45000 loop. The best thing to do in a case with a large tempo change is to allow the 45000 to play along with the MIDI master for a few bars, possibly muting the 45000’s outputs if necessary, after a few bars stop the 45000 and then proceed with recording a new loop and or playing back an established loop synced to the new tempo.

It’s recommended to use it with the original power supply. [/strong]
i also used it with an ispot, but the 22500 was humming then.Were there other pedals connected to the 1Spot in addition to the 22500? Does your 22500 make a humming noise when using the power supply it came with?

Ok, it sounds like it is a bad unit and the Hazarai needs to be repaired. Where are you located?
Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorQuote:Yeah, thanks to the great customer service, the ‘issue’ has been resolved. I think if anyone else may get confused by the manual, I’ll just post the email reply I recieved:*****************************************************************************************************
“Regarding the bar count reduction problem, from what I gather the 45000 is actually working correctly there’s just one important thing to know: when you start the Electribe to begin recording on the 45000, the 45000 does not immediately begin recording, it first goes through a 1 bar count-in (you should see the TRACK 1 LED blinking during this time) where it is not recording but preparing to record. The 45000 actually starts recording on beat 1 of the following bar, the second bar. So you have to account for this 1 bar before you actually start playing any music and when you decide to end the loop.”
*****************************************************************************************************I understood the manual in a wrong way, making me think that by activating the “quantize” mode in external beat/sync mode, the count-in is switched off. That was my fault.
The issue with the button push delay seems to be the result of a bad formatted SD card, so all is well!
Thanks for the support!
Thanks for posting the Customer Service email!
November 25, 2015 at 8:36 pm in reply to: Memory Man with Hazarai – Anyone find a solution for this issue? #121034Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorQuote:Flick, thanks for this tip. In fact, I have had the pedal plugged into output 4. I went ahead and tried both outputs 5 and 6, with the DIP set to Normal. (Is that what you mean by “off”? Page 5 of the Pedal Power manual seems to show the DIP switches as Normal=OFF.
http://www.voodoolab.com/manuals/pedal_power_2plus_manual.pdf )The pedal still won’t hold a preset. I tried it with the DIP switch in the other position… same result.
Tried a different connector cable too… no difference.
Is there anything else I can try?
Another thing worth trying is to use the original AC Adapter that the Hazarai was supplied, if you still have it?

Re-flashing the firmware sounds like it’s worth a shot! What would be involved in doing that? Can that be done over MIDI / SYSEX?thanks,
– ScottUnfortunately it does not have the ability to re-program through MIDI or other means a user could do. It has to be re-programmed at the factory or certain repair centers. What country are you located?
November 25, 2015 at 6:45 pm in reply to: Memory Man with Hazarai – Anyone find a solution for this issue? #121030Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorQuote:Thanks for the inquiry. I use a Voodoo Labs Pedal Power 2 Plus.Which output port on the Voodoo Labs are you using? The Hazarai must be connected to outputs 5 or 6 and the DIP switch associated with the port you are using must be set to the off position.
November 25, 2015 at 5:08 pm in reply to: can i sync rythm and chords from korg pss 50 supersection with other midi by the 8 step sequencer? #121027Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorQuote:Hi, i want to sync my korg pss 50 that has not midi with my yamaha pss 480. Can i use the ehx 8 step sequencer to sync it? i only want to sync tempos ? it´s posible or maybe with any oher gadget?
thanksUnfortunately it looks like the Korg PSS 50 does not have any kind of clock or sync inputs so I don’t think you would be able to synchronize the Korg to an external unit without having some sort of mod done to the PSS 50.
Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorI believe we emailed you about this problem. Let us know if the emails from customer service help solve the problems. Thanks.
November 25, 2015 at 5:01 pm in reply to: 8 Step Program timing problem (v3) > Internal clock #121025Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorQuote:When I boot up my 8-Step, it shows that it has the v3 update.I don’t use it with MIDI; I normally have it clocked internally.
Every once in a while, it hangs on a step momentarily before advancing. I haven’t been able to detect a pattern, it seems to do this at random moments. It is very noticeable and disruptive; at least 50ms.
I’ve tried using all 4 Global Tempo/Bounce modes, and it (mis)behaves the same in each mode.
Syncing to external CV (TR-606) doesn’t seem to produce the same glitch. There’s an occasional lag of <10ms or so, but nothing to complain about.
This feels like the same MIDI timing glitch which I read about that affected v1, but I understand that this was resolved in v2. And mine shows that it has the v3 update.
Any suggestions?
hopefully,
– ScottIt’s possible this is a defective unit or maybe just needs the firmware to be re-flashed. What are you using to power the 8 Step?
November 25, 2015 at 4:59 pm in reply to: Memory Man with Hazarai – Anyone find a solution for this issue? #121024Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorQuote:My Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai is not behaving!!! Good little robots do what they’re told, right? Not this one! It rebels.Here’s what it’s doing-
It won’t hold a preset.That means I click the white button down to access a saved preset in any of the modes (green Preset LED is lit solidly), and after a random time the little guy drops the preset by itself and reverts to the sound all the other knobs would produce (flashing green Preset LED).
It’s acting like one of the knobs has been turned, which cancels the preset sound and goes to the knobs’ settings. But nobody is touching the knobs! Sometimes it will hold a preset for an hour, other times less than a second. It doesn’t matter if I’m playing or not. It doesn’t matter if the unit has a cable plugged into it or not.
All the other functions are working correctly which is cool, but I use the presets a lot. Very necessary!!!
HEEEELLLLLLP!
Anyone else had this issue and found a solution?
Any help is super appreciated! Gotta fix my little robot!!!Timi
What are you using to power the Hazarai?

Does this have anything to do with Low Cut mode?
Just so I understand correctly, when DXMB is in effect mode, it sounds normal but in bypass it is muddy?
Exactly. I just turned the Blend knob all the way up, and I noticed the delay signal also sounds muddy. The normal signal sounds perfect when effect mode is on though.
If you’re hearing a muddy sound in bypass it could be something internal to the DXMB or external. Do you have anything new after the DXMB? There could be something wrong with the footswitch or maybe a bad cable.
