I have run into what seems like a *horrible* bug which is really impacting my workflow...
- When 'remote pad play' is set to 'beats' the Tempest switches beat even when in '16 Sounds' mode. I've tried restarting and the same thing happens. Switch 'remote pad play' mode back to 'sounds' and the problem doesn't occur. This could well make this beta unuseable for me.
Yes, that's how it is supposed to operate and how it's operated from the start. If you set Pad To Note Mode to Beats, incoming MIDI Note On messages will select Beats. I think you may be intending to set Pad To Note Mode to Follow Pad Func, which follows the Pad Function. Hopefully this will be less horrible for you.
Hi Roger,
Thanks for the reply - I will try and get a reliable repro for the issue.
I don't think you quite understand what I mean by the issue though - I have Pad To Note mode set to 'beats' so that remote control of the pads will change beat. I then set 'local' control mode to 'sounds' so I can jam along or edit sounds as I go. Hitting a (physical) pad is now triggering the appropriate sound as expected but also changing beat! Surely this is not expected behaviour?
As is often the case with these things it hasn't popped up since I first experienced it but I am about to get the Tempest out now...
OK - after some time with it today I think I'm going to have to call 'mea culpa' on this issue and put it down to pilot error.
I haven't run into any such issues today and thinking through the scenario that caused it in the first place I think what seems like the most likely explanation was as follows...
- I had just updated the Tempest so assumed any new problems were due to the update(!)
- I had both USB and MIDI DIN connected (normally I disconnect USB but I use it for fw updates)
- I ran into the 'two sounds not playing at once' issue so reset system parameters
- This caused my 'Remote Pad OUT Channel' settings to be changed (I think I had this set to 'off' before)
- This caused a MIDI feedback loop in Logic so that any pad I pressed on the tempest resulted in the equivalent MIDI being re-routed back to the Tempest - as I had 'remote pad play' set to 'beats' this meant beats kept changing even if I was in '16 sounds' mode.
I reckon that must have been it. Apologies for going off on one. Only issue I've run into today has been the SPP one above.
cheers
