A couple TEO issues/bugs
« on: August 17, 2024, 10:27:09 AM »
LOVING this synth so far, but I wanted to report a couple of issues:
(let me know if this is not the right place to submit issues)

1.) Sequencer: I cannot get the step sequencer to wrap around, when rests are entered manually. For example, an 8 note sequence sounds like its playing 8.5-9 steps when the last step is a REST. I've changed clocking mode, sync, etc. Meanwhile any steps entered manually seem to wrap perfectly, as long as the last step isn't a REST.

2.) I can't get the S+H waveform on either LFO to act like the RANDOM parameter with a new random positive (or bi-polar) value, no matter if SYNC is on or not. Also, CLOCK divide isn't quite tracking; anything above 1/8th sounds like its 1/32 or faster? Expectation: a S+H waveform puts out a bi-polar value at rate.

3.) I regularly use SPREAD (SPRD in the TEO?) to pan voices but cannot find this as a destination to get this to work, even when modulating to PANNING. I believe it should be bi-polar, but can only get it to pan to one side. PANNING/SPRD is a voice SOURCE, but perhaps shouldn't be?

4.) Unison should have panning spread automatically; one voice is mono, while two or more voices are panned left/right or forced to be binaural. The OB-X8 does this perfectly in its new 2.0 firmware.

5.) LFO's values are logarithmic numerically instead of percentage; a value of 1 to ALL OSC FREQ should be barely pitch warble, but 1 sounds more like 10%, 3 is way too much, 5 is almost unusable.

Feature Request: I wish the FX parameters would show up on screen. As is, you have to feel them out via the knobs.

Please report any bugs to support@sequential.com as it’s the only guarantee they’ll be seen by the right people.

- For 3.), have you tried setting a mod matrix slot to:

Source -> Voice Sprd
Destination -> Panning

Put your amount to some value and you sould have voice spread much like on the OB-X8. Then you can modulate that by using another mod matrix slot to put some source to modulate Mod # (where # = the mod matrix slot where you put the voice panning amount.

- For 4.) If you add the above mod matrix use to a unison patch, it should get you the voice spread on unision you want. 

- I confirm what you see on the sequencer. I recorded one sequence a few times thinking I was messing it up somewhere. Also with the usability of the LFO ammount: for some things I want something in between 1 and 0. I'll have to experiment with S+H more to say if I can replicate that.

- One I'll add is that I cannot get an LOF to modulate the vintage knob how I think it should.

[Edit: grammar, clarity]

Doing this:

Source -> Voice Sprd
Destination -> Panning
Put your amount to some value and you should have voice spread much like on the OB-X8.

...does the typical Center, Slight Left, Slight Right, Full Left, Full Right, back to Center on each new voice.

I'll report these over to Support.
Thanks for confirming!

Also a similar wrap around issue on the sequencer, if your last input is a tie, it seems to add an extra rest at the end.

So a 16 length step sequence becomes a 17.  :'(
