hey guys, earlier today I posted about a mysterious thing that crept in to my Rev 2 earlier today, where basically I can't play the instrument because half of my keys are non-responsive. That post is copied below but I'll now delete it (it didn't get any replies).
I think I have narrowed the problem, and I think I'm seeing what people reported a few times last year, with oscillators dropping out in certain (beta) versions of the OS. Basically, my oscillators act unreliably. For instance:
- The tuning knobs skip over various notes, sometimes the better part of an octave
- almost any patch, chunks of keys stop responding, though if I go back to the same key a few seconds later, it may respond.
Here's the video again:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7xsX4X2u44&feature=youtu.beI have re-installed both 1.1.4.27 and 1.1.4.5 (I happened to have that on my computer) a few times, including global settings reset and calibration, but I am still seeing the problem.
Now what?
Thanks!
Hi guys, I have a Rev2 that I bought new about a year ago. It's been working great. I think I most recently updated it in the Fall, I think to that October OS update.
This morning I decided to install the Prophet 08 sound banks. After I did that, I noticed that blank patches and other keys were not responsive, so without thinking too much about it, I downloaded the Rev 2 default banks and re-installed those. Still using a USB cable and SysEx Librarian. Same thing. Then I tried resetting the Global variables. Same thing. Then just now, I installed the latest beta of the Rev2 OS, the build from January. Still the same.
Here's what I'm getting:
- Blank patch: about an octave of keys works, then the next octave doesn't create any sounds, etc
- Factory patches: a few work normally, most have spots where the keyboard isn't responsive
- Sometimes I notice I hit a key and nothing happens, then I hit it again a few seconds later and it works. Almost like there's an envelope or LFO getting in the way.
Video showing the issue in action: - at the end of the video i pan over some of my keys so you can see some of the knob settings there.
What I've tried:
- restarting the rev2 a few times
- updating / resetting the OS and banks, per comments above
- unplugging the USB midi cable
- turning off various Midi settings
- playing around with VCA and LFO knobs, in case one of them was causing the problem
I'm out of ideas!
I don't think this is a defective machine. But something got weird!!
1/ there's no complete Factory Reset option, right?
2/ other suggestions?
Much thanks!
