PreenFM1 (the blue one) / Re: MIDI on / off issues (1.61)

« on: May 25, 2012, 02:21:19 PM »

Those debug version display on the screen the NoteOn ("O") and NoteOff("F") it receives.
http://xhosxe.free.fr/PreenFM/firmware/DEBUG/

Please Try D4 first in which i have much hope.

D1 is the same as 162.B2.

The D2 version deals with polyphonic after touch, it does not do anything with it, it just consumes the data.

D3 version added... Prevent realtime midi message to change MidiDispatcher state. Please, try this one first...

D4: I implement the running status midi feature... which was missing.

Please let me know what you see on your screen while playing,

If you have time, could you try older firmware 1.60, 1.51 and 1.03 and see if it's better ?

Thanks a lot (again) for the bug reports.
Keep them coming 

But I'm afraid next VST version won't be able the middle of next week.

Yes good idea, i'll try to build a OS that output the midi information it receives.

I'll give a look at this bug (rather sooner than later)...
Thanks,

To clarify...
When I line up 2 notes in Sonar the Note Off occurs right before the next Note On.  Neither one gets triggered.  The further apart the notes / messages are, the better they trigger.

OK... and that problem happens only  with the  Edirol UM880 ? right ?

Could you try to set the Release of all envelopes to 0 and check if you still hear the problem ?
Same thing with all the release set to 255.

By High / Low, I meant the Voltages.  The voltage levels at which the pin goes high or low.  There are different tolerances for different chips.

The 6N137 is here to isolate the input, so that the maple always get the same voltage/currant.

Thanks a lot for your help,

Two adjacent messages (Note off, Note on) kill each other.

I'd love to understand that... what do you mean exactly ?
What do you see and what do you hear ?

It might be something to do with the maple's tolerances for high and low values on the receive pin?

Midi is slow. I'm sure the 72Mhz maple can handle it 

I measured the voltage output from the Edirol UM880 at 5.1V and the MOTU828mk2 at 4.98 V   I'm not sure if this means anything at all 

Thanks a lot for testing it... at least the voltage is very close.

v0.3 is ready....
http://xhosxe.free.fr/PreenFM/VST/

Thanks a lot funkyfli for the bug reports....
Fixed in v0.3 :
1> "the voices do not follow the algorithms when they are switched"

2> "and, the matrix combobox options are displayed below the version # "
Fixing "the lower comboboxes" was a bit more complicated so not priority 1 for the moment

3> "On Algorithm 9, switching operator 5 shape, changes the frequency to low (.38 I think)"
Good catch... operator 6 shape was also broken...

Thanks for having checked... that's really usefull...
If we eliminates the possibilities one by one, we're going to find a solution

Bidule 32 bit : checked
Sonar 8.5 and X1 : checked
Reaper : checked
VSTHost : checked

Thanks  for the feedbacks

Thanks for the requests ... i'm glad you like your blue box 

3. Sysex internal doc ?
I agree it's hard to understand from the code...
And it's not very clean because i had to deal with upward compatibility.
Antway, it's a good idea and i'll try to put something on the website... I'll post a message here when it's done.

Thanks a lot for the suggestion.

5. That's not exactly what you suggest but you have this when you set a Midi clock based sequencer tempo (after 240).. You need your sequencer to send midi clock.

5a.  In the matrix, you can redirect the step sequencer to the frequency of all oscillator "o*fr"... so that you control the pitch. Set the multplier at 64 and you'll have one semitone per step value.

Thanks for the info and the URL.

I give a look at the code and i think that the 'active sensing' message cannot cause a problem. They are simply ignored.
To be 100%sure, can you disable 'active sensing' on your EMU880 and check if that change something ?
Or do you know a sequencer that can send this midi messages ?

I use the same 6n137 based midi schema as the shruti-1 so i don't think it's a hardware problem.

Le me know if you find something, i'll continue investigating,

Thanks a lot for the report.
Yes i'm happy you have it working.

I've noticed that too in sonar 8. It works with an instrument track but not with a midi only track !! That's sounds weird !
But sonar 8 there seems to have an aditional NRPN bug... anyway sonar 8 is 4 years old now.

Any adidional information by people who have note on/off problem are welcome.

It's always difficult to know who's fault it is.

Funkyfli do you mean it does no work you UM880.
Doe you have other sound module that work with it ?
What do you mean by "This might be due to the fact that it sends out 4 Active Sensing messages a minute... continuously."

Thanks for the good ideas.
When i have more free time, i'll definitely give a try at 2. Maybe a new page in the "engine" part.
I tried 1 at some point but it required a big rewrite of many things. But i agree it would be very cool.... Attack and of course release.

3. I don't understand what you mean...
Reading and dumping patch or bank as sysex is included in the menu...

Great you have it working with VSTHost !

Mouse Wheel is supported all over the VST and should work.
I also use mouse wheel a lot and it was a priority.
Maybe VSTHost does not forward the mouse wheel info to the VST. I'll give it a try.

Thanks for the other reports.

I'll try to build a standalone version. The VST framework i use has this feature.
