Intermittent MIDI sequencer triggering.

wyleu

I'm trying to sequence a piece by the Sea Nymphs called Engleheart http://www.anyware.co.uk/williamddrake/audio/sea-nymphs_engleheart.mp3

And am trying to do the harmonium backing using a MIDI sequence see attach...

I'm sequencing the Horn Model Patch as it happens which only occasionally plays all the notes , which seems peculiar as it should have plenty of note polyphony to cope.
Similar effect on a very basic VCO VCF ENV patch in slot B

Could some one please explain the effect I'm getting as it's a bit disconcerting and is really only a simple development of the help file for the sequencer.

Also how can I control the MIDI out channel of both MIDI Outs from one knob?
I can't see an obvious method.

Thanks for that 3 phase. So much for the play this polyphonic sequence on different machines knob... Sad

I've dug why may into the manual and can see no mention of the ordering of sequencers but I wonder if things are not being ordered concurrently. The sequence drops behaves correctly when only running one of the 'channels' On/OFF switches . But as soon as both play there seems to be some drifting and notes appear and dissappear.It will seem to get it right after an initial stop/start but fall apart as things progress. In this context it actually works quite well as a dusty old harmonium, but I would prefer a bit of control over the effect.

I noticed your Polyphony (Voice Mode) is set to 8...which means the sequencers/NOTE sends 8 of the same command at the same time.

Maybe this is your problem? Try turning the polyphony to MONO.

As for changing BOTH midi channels...try changing the channels to "THIS", then, when you want to change MIDI channel, change it in system settings for that slot. I think that's the only way to do it. The slot you are controlling would have to be assigned to the same MIDI channel while it's being controlled. Seems backwards, but if changing all MIDI out channels at the same time was necessary, I think it's all you can do with the current modules in v1.24.

That is indeed the problem.

So if I have polyphony set to 3 in the sequencer module I will get 3 MIDI on events for each positive edge supplied to the MIDI out module gate input?

Thank you for the MIDI routing tip as well.
