Ok great, thanks for clarifying

The manual says they enable the mixers, but when I set filter one to handle the input of mixer 2 then button 1 disables filter 1(/vca1?) which is handling mixer 2 therefore technically disabling mixer 2. So instead of the mixer the buttons seem to disable the vca/filter instead. Is this correct and ...

Well, it seems a general problem so i'll suffice by posting that typing values often renders unexpected results since the number you type does not represent the value. The BPM is another example of a value you cannot type. It's only multiples of 10. So 1 = 10, 12=120. But the thing is typing is a fa...

When I type in the midi value for the midi channel, the value is 1 off. Obviously because the lowest value (0) corresponds with the lowest midi channel, which is 1. The result is typing 6 results in midi channel 7. So i guess this should be corrected with a -1 value.

It seems that the indicator light of the assign1/2 buttons are not saved. Eg the preset Obie time has glissando all assigned to this button and it is on in the preset. But when I select Obie Time,
the assign button is not lit. When I press it twice it is.

Yes there are a few bugs and i can confirm that currently working with a daw is sometimes cumbersome. I experience the sync issues, occasional stuck and dropped notes and occasional midi lag and lost USB connection issues. Most of these issues are usb related I guess but haven't tested it thoroughly...

Hmmm . I'm not sure if this is the same but I could say that it's missing some fizz or dirt. Like the access virus has plenty. So there are high frequencies for sure but it's not that 'full'. More like super clean. For me it's the character of the solaris. But a bell like sound has quite some (very)...

Yes have that too. Not always click but its loud for sure. As if it is playing the next sound already

Thanks! That's great

When i type in the filter value with the numeric keypad, the value is off. eg. when i type 50 is turns to 113. 0 gives 63. It seems to add 63.
Anyone else experience this?

Hi John, thanks for checking. I also confirm that i tested this standalone. I would love to be able to do smooth filter sweeps with a knob and not be forced to use the controllers (xy, mod, rib). As expected when using shift there is no stepping but this is not suitable for sweeps (something like 13...

Hi There, i noticed a major lag/latency/stepping when using the performance knobs. to reproduce: assign a performance knob to cutoff use performance knobs for fast cutoff sweeps I get major stepping and lag when doing so. By the way, sweeping the cutoff knob in the filter is the same, but the effect...
