MIDI OUTPUT OVERLOAD
While it usually will not be a problem, it is possible for Engine to generate enough MIDI
messages to overload the DIN MIDI output ports under certain circumstances. For
example, this might happen if many tracks trigger all 16 drum instruments on the same
step and use the same MIDI output port at high tempo (not something that would happen
under normal usage!) This is a limitation of the serial MIDI protocol.
When this situation occurs, Engine will begin skipping messages in order to maintain
internal timing.
To indicate that a MIDI overload is occurring, in GLOBAL CONFIG mode, the LED display
will use the two leftmost decimal points to indicate which of the two MIDI outputs is
overloading.
To alleviate the overload condition, you could reduce the number of MIDI messages being
sent, distribute the messages across multiple output ports, or switch to USB MIDI which
can handle much more load.
