John Bowen Synth Design

Sorry, when I said to just try it I meant akoasma.

I don't think the terminology of master/slave is so appropriate with SPDIF. SPDIF has the clock embedded along with the audio signal. The sender sends at the frequency it wants to and it's up to the receiver to listen at that frequency. The receiver cannot specify a clock. Usually you just set both ...

It's enough to just connect the SPDIF out of the Solaris to the SPDIF in of the RME. You don't need two way and you don't need word clock. But you probably need to set the RME SPDIF input to be 48KHz. The Solaris SPDIF can only output at 48KHz; there's nothing to set. Note that MIDI clock is a diffe...

Actually, looking at it closer, it's not technically a bug depending on how you look at it. You probably have SendArp set to On. When SendArp is On, you want only the notes that have been generated by the Arp to be sent out over MIDI, not the notes played on the keyboard. So you need to set SendArp ...

Sorry, I was away for a few days.

Looks like sometimes it doesn't work right but sometimes it does. Which is probably why it got missed. It's a bug.

I didn't notice until now that you said all notes are sticking. How many? Could it have anything to do with the sustain pedal?

Oh, then this is nothing to do with the Gliss parameter setting, but a real glissando. So then actually the settings don't matter as long as you have PlayMode=Poly, I assume. Any preset will result in stuck notes? I'll try some more. I don't know the first OS versions. The first one where I modified...

I'm not able to reproduce any stuck notes. Can you provide more information about how you do that? So far you've said only "poly gliss". I set PlayMode=Poly and the global GldType=Gliss but I can't produce stuck notes that way yet. I would either start from an INIT preset or suggest some other facto...

Thanks for checking. Unfortunately the original developer didn't try to put unique IDs there. (Given the Creamware/Sonic Core heritage maybe some code got copied. I don't know.) I should be able to change that for a later version.

If there's a collision that would mean that the vendor ID and product ID are the same for both products. Can you check something please? With just the Prodyssey plugged in, go to the Device Manager, right-click on the Prodyssey and select Properties. Then click on the Details tab. From the Property ...

I don't see how it can be clipping the input to the motu. It gets limited by the Solaris output to the maximum digital level. So I expect it is clipping at the Solaris output. I doubt using another sound card will change anything. I think you just need to turn down the Solaris level internally, as y...

Other ways off the top of my head: - Set the Control to MaxVal and then set the Strength between 0% and -50%. - Run the modulator signal through a spare mixer and adjust the mixer level down. Then use the mixer as mod source of the oscillator pitch. If you don't have a spare mixer maybe you can pres...

Thanks for sharing your work, Mike! I've only begun to check them out since there are so many.

Hi pinmusica, In the Solaris, go to the MIDI page and make sure that MIDICtrl is On. With the Solaris USB cable plugged in, do you see John Bowen Solaris Synthesizer in Device Manager? It should be in the section called Sound, video, and game controllers. If it is there, does it have an error? What ...

This sort of thing drove me nuts more than once also. I couldn't figure out why the volume was so low. I eventually realized it was the expression pedal at a low position.
