John Bowen Synth Design

Hi Steve,

1) The thing is, MIDI channels are a per voice thing, and the way it works, all oscillators (and filters and everything else except the final FX) are done on a per voice basis, so there's really no way to have MIDI control over individual oscs (I assume you are thinking of tuning, mainly).

2) On my Solaris plug-in for Scope, each sequence row has separate divisors and separate pattern lengths. I had forgotten about this - perhaps Jim can add these changes, but I'm not sure. I will ask. Right now there is only the one Master Division setting, so it's not a bug that you see.

Hi John,

Still having fun with my Solaris.

1) Just playing around today with doing some external sequencing. And thought came to me that it would be nice if I could control each of the four oscillators separately via MIDI. Thoughts were simply to have a midi starting channel eg: 4 and this would be assigned to osc1 and osc2 would have 5 etc.

I do understand that I could assign each of the sequencers to each of the oscillators. The MIDI sync issue affects me with this at the moment BUT I still think the external sequencing function would be nice.

2) I understand that seq1 controls the other sequencers. It would be nice to have their own divisors and not use the same as seq1. BUG - also noticed that if I change the Division on seq2 it changes seq1 ?

Keep up the wonderful works.

Steve Roberts.
