Hello,

After repair my s1mk2 I have problems with the midi.

I mean that it holds the first note , and i need to reset from the keyboard.

I remember that it happens to me before, but now seems much more. Its not possible to play anything.

I updated to the 5.0 firmware correctly without results.

Any of you have or had problems with the MIDI in his S1mk2? Is there a solution?

Thanks.

I reinstalled again the firmware 5.0 and seems better but still sometimes seems that do not receive the "note off " order.

What a great synthesizer.

If any of you could contact me with experience regarding this issue i will be very grateful.

Maybe any of you have older firmware releases and they are working correctly?

Thanks.

Seems that was the cable! was 4m long, maybe was this. I have made a new cable according this article http://www.harmony-central.com/MIDI/midi-cable.txt and it is working.

Regards.

Ah yes, that makes sense, a lot of MIDI cables are not up to specs indeed.

Hello,

Seems that the cable improved the issue but still I have problems.

Seems that the S1 not always receives the note-off message.

For example if from the DAW in a 4/4 time signature I draw four quarter note(crotchet), the S1 will hold the first note when finished the four beats.

I have to solve this drawing eighth notes (quaver), so in this way the S1 receives the note-off message.

Its the same if I play fast in the keyboard, sometimes a note is hold.

So my question is: is this an issue of the S1 or only happens in mine. Do you have experimented this?

If not I will open my S1 again. Please let me know.
