We have something that is very near ready to release, and will work with both detented and non-detented front panels. However, the MIDI clock when External fix is still a little bit of work to go - maybe 2 weeks.
I did notice that if I set the Solaris on Internal clock, and just make the BPM the same on the Solaris and another synth, they really stay remarkably "in sync" just playing like that, but of course, when you vary one, you have to manually change the other as well
I'd also like to know how many owners are using a FATAR/Studiologic foot switch for Sustain? These seem to be particularly problematic, as we focus in on getting the last little sustain pedal issues solved.
I have both a Yamaha FC4A and Studiologic dual VFP2, and have great results with the Yamaha, and not so great with the Studiologic (which is Fatar). It seems the FATAR pedals do not put out a high enough value when you press on them, but only when you release them, and then it drops quickly again, so we see a brief sustain (Hold) LED during the release phase of the pedal, meaning it is on then off during the release phase of the pedal.
Everyone using a sustain pedal - please list your current model(s) here.
