1.00 : finally

[martindunne]

Hi Xavier it definitely only happens with 1.B8 and above here is the procedure

Firstly im just using a midi keyboard an old kawai K11. And it doesnt seem so random the PFM2 acts like it has one fewer voices eg I load up Impending in pfm2 bank when showing 3 voices it will sometimes manage to  play 3 but more often than not it plays 2 voices sometimes missing the second note not the last as you would expect.

thanks

I cannot reproduce and i don't know for the moment how that can happen.
Seems like i have broken something in 1.B8.
Don't hesitate to share if you find an easy way to reproduce.

In the meantime, i have questions :
1. do you have your problem just after loading a preset or does it start after, while playing.
2. when the problem is there. Do pressing "INST + MENU" (in this order and holding INST : PANIC) fix it ?
3. when you have this problem. What is the number of voice of the instrument with the problem ? And the number of voices of the other instruments.

Thanks

hi again
1 it plays fine for a short while after loading preset
2 when holding inst+menu it fixes it but comes back straight after
3 I set all other instruments to zero, if i set voices to 1 it intermittently makes a sound when keyboard is struck even tho the PFM2 is showing midi received in top right of LCD, if i set voices to 2 it intermittently sounds one or two and so on with the more voices.

it happens on harmosynth in the preen2 bank if that helps

it happens on harmosynth in the preen2 bank if that helps

Thanks... I cannot reproduce so everything can help 
I think your keyboard send information differently from everything i have here.

If you have time can you flash this firmware :
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/41654198/preenfm2/firmwares/p2_1xx.bin

Each time a new note is received... You can see a counter that is incremented.
Then how the engine get the voice:
F (Free) : use a voice that was not playing any sound
S (Same) : use the voice that was playing the same note
R (Release) : All voices are busy but at least one is in release mode. Use the older voice in release mode.
O (Old) : All voices are busy... Use the older one for the new note.

When you get a missing note, do you have the counter that is incremented.. Do you see always the same Letter (R,F,R,O) for the missing note ?

Then when the problem is present... Press LFO+MTX... You should see some information that are very important for me.
Can you copy it...

Thanks a lot for your help.

first go
79 0    37 00
72 0    39 10
76 0    38 10
dont know if this is right

[martindunne]

all the notes that play seem to be F and the missing note always seems to be R

[Xavier]

Already ?
Thanks... that's usefull.

79 0    37 00
72 0    39 10
76 0    38 10

Each line is a voice state.
The 1 in bold is release mode information.
I have to understand why some voices remain in release state and refuse to play sound.

After the letter you can see ":" and the voice number that is used.
Is it always the same associated with the R that does not sound ?

[martindunne]

its either 0,1 or 2

[Xavier]

Thanks...
Didn't find anything yet.
Will continue tomorrow.

[Xavier]

But if you find a simple thing that you do that put a voice in this broken state, let me know. 
Click INST + MENU.. it works...
Any simple sequence of notes that lead to this missing note ?

[Xavier]

Hey Martin,

If found something, let me know if :
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/41654198/preenfm2/firmwares/p2_1xy.bin
fixes something for you.

Sending noteOff() on free voices put the voices in the state you describe.. silent following note.
It could be done by sending CC#123 (all note off) or sending 2 noteOff() on sound with Very fast release (which is the case of HARMOSYNTH).
I fixed that in this XY firmware.

Thanks

[martindunne]

Brilliant fixed well done works like a charm

thanks a lot

[Xavier]

Good news ! 
Thanks for your feedback and help...
I'll include that in 1.B10.
