Odd MIDI behaviour with Blue Box

[AndyRoid]

Hi all, just discovered a weird thing - I have a set up with an Octatrack as the main brain sequencing other synths, all running into a Blue Box. I experienced a weird stuttering effect on one of the BB inputs which I eventually realised has a particular midi note (F6) from the Octatrack that was muting that input on & off. I can work around it by changing that specific sequencer channel to a different midi channel, but my question is how would I disable such behaviour on the BB? All I want it to do is receive clock via the Octatrack - I should add that I'm using a midi controller via USB for controlling faders, sends etc. Any ideas?

I think Bluebox needs some midi filtering options.

Perhaps you could use the Midi "learn" function. Your Bluebox might have "learnt" to mute on that specific midi note. I would try to "learn" the Bluebox to mute on another midi command and thus "unlearning" the F6 note as mute. Hope this was helpful!
