Topic: Blinking MIDI Light on FF400 Faceplate

Hi Guys,

I just began using MIDI on my RME FF400 for the first time (just a keyboard connected to RME MIDI input 1).  For some reason though the yellow MIDI activity light on the face of the RME is constantly flashing even when not playing anything.  I am not very MIDI knowledgeable so if somebody could explain to me what that handshaking is about and how to make it stop, or control it, I'd appreciate it.  First off, I'm not sure if it is even normal to be happening, and secondly it's super annoying to have that blinking light out of the corner of my eye when I'm trying to program/tap in drums.

Thanks,

Your keyboard sends Active Sensing messages. That is fully normal (and even mentioned in the FF400 manual, page 46).
