I know this is my own pet feature that I want, so take this "bug report" FWIW.
I still can't get the sequencer to act as a pure control sequencer when in paraphonic mode. In Mono mode, I think it's working fine.
From what I can tell, when the Sequencer is enabled, it's like it is reserving a note to itself - even if I have Notes: Off on Track 1.
Use this experiment on a factory paraphonic patch Cascades P2 F5. Play a 4 note paraphonic chord. Nice isn't it?
Now enable the Sequencer. Select Track 1. Turn Notes: Off. My expected behavior is that Track 1 will not affect the notes of the synth engine.
Press play. Here that sequencer taking over a note? You can hear a sustained note.
Turn the level of all oscillators down - all to zero. The note is still there. In fact, its the Sub of Osc 1 that is sounding. The Sequencer, some how, is opening the envelope of just the sub of OSC 1? What?
The destinations of all sequencer tracks is None on this factory patch. As far as I can tell, the Sub of OSC1 is not a destination in the mod matrix.
So, needless to say, this is breaking paraphonic mode when the sequencer is enabled.
It's like the Sequencer is reserving a note even if I set Notes: Off. And it appears to be reserving the Sub?
It's weird. Try to play that 4 note chord with the sequencer on. It's totally wrong. Turn sequencer off, then play your chord, then back on etc... When the sequencer is on, you'll hear that Sub sticking to the lowest note that has been played since the sequencer was enabled.
Closer, but it still doesn't work the way I am hoping we can get it to work.
When in paraphonic mode, the Pro2 seems smart about what note it's going to assign to OSC1, because OSC1 has the sub it seems to dynamically assign the lowest note to that oscillator. Seems pretty smart.
But when the sequencer is playing, even with Notes: Off, Mute: On/Off, it's like the Sequencer has reserved the Sub or the voice with the sub, or the priority is all out of whack. Feels like I'm playing with 2 or 3 paraphonic voices.
Very confusing.
