Midi issues

Hello,I connected my Virus TI (MIDI IN) to the Midicake (MIDI OUT). I’ve assigned the MIDI channels and I can hear the Virus when playing presets, but here are the different issues I’m encountering:

When I launch any preset, the notes overlap — each note lasts 1 to 2 seconds too long. Every preset is a mess.
When I press stop, the notes keep playing for another second or two.
With Live Play turned ON, if I press a note, the preset triggers and stops a few seconds after I release the note. If Live Play is turned OFF, no matter the mode, I don’t hear any sound when I press a note.

I’ve tried various settings in the menus, done a hard reset, and even changed the MIDI cable — nothing changes.

Thanks for your help.

Try setting the Gate length to something really short. A few ticks.

Long gates will create overlapping notes and when pressing Stop the gates will play out. You can press stop twice to kill the notes.

Alternatively, if you want to prevent all overlapping notes completely, set Voice Mode to MONO.

Another thing to consider is that ARP is only controlling the length of the MIDI notes. The Synth itself has control over the release times, so check this too.

Let me know if that helps.

Minor Bugs in V8 + wishlist for V9

Hi Chris and thanks for your awesome control station for everything - okay, not everything, but who wants his roller shutter to open and close in arps 🤔

As you know, I use it to control four different Synths - Bass, Arp, Chord and Drone and as a master clock for ko2-drums and fx.

Now we have come a long way and I guess V9 will arrive soon, so here is a short list of old and new bugs and wishes:

. missing live performance mode

. Chord chain stucks or doesn't start after change of pattern

. still encountering random weird tempo glitches, if using poly & chord-mode with chops - but that's perhaps my ko2

Cheers for the summary wish list. I've added it to the mop up task for V9 and will review fully in due course. I'm a little delayed with V9 as there have been so many other things on. It won't be too long though. Thanks again! Chris

Chop not working

I've found that with the current firmware (v8) the Chop function doesn't seem to be fully working. When I set it above 0, it will only effectively behave as Chop=1. In other words, I can only get a "double note" out of it. Chopping to 3 or 4 notes doesn't seem to be outputting additional note on/off values.

You were right, it was the time division! I've now changed it from 1/16 to 1/8 and can get 4 chop notes. Thank you.

Lock chord keybord in the chord scale

Hello

Is it possible to lock the keyboard keys to the chords of a scale?

For example, in Major key G, the chords are G, Am, Bm, C, D, Em, F#dim. Is it possible to configure the ARP so that when I press the B key, it plays a Bm chord directly without having to press the Minor key first, or the press F# key to play a F#dim chord without having to press the Dim key first.

I would have this to save time when changing chords and stay more focused on my performance.

Thank you

Regards

I'd really appreciate this, because for a musician it is the natural way to chose chords. If you aren't a trained musician, you don't know instantly, when you are in a key what chords the V or the ii actually are, but you know, it has to be a V (or a ii). And also, if the key is set, you could play a chord with one button press, which is way more natural as always to think about if the chord will be a minor or a major or anything else and then press another button for the actual chord. Having chords from the scale steps instantly at hand would be such a handy shortcut for this!
