Sequencer doesn't seem to work in Polychain Mode

Sequencer doesn't seem to work in Polychain Mode
« on: November 26, 2025, 05:45:34 PM »
I just picked up a TEO-5 keys to go with my module and I'm playing around with polychaining.

Programming the sequencer doesn't seem to work correctly in Polychain mode.  After five notes I get silence, and then it picks up again after 5 more notes.  If you ignore the silence and program a sequence in Polychain mode you get weird rhythms.

p.s. The numerous verification questions just to post are a huge pain!

Is polychain working when playing live from the keyboard?  If it’s not setup correctly, you’ll only hear 5 notes, then silence for 5 notes (which are being sent via MIDI to the polychained synth) and back again.

Try setting the polychained (slave) synth to midi channel “ALL” in the global menu.  Also you only want polychain turned on on the controlling (master) synth.

OB-6 module, Take 5, TEO-5, plus many other synths.

Polychaining is working fine when playing from the keyboard.  The problem is the sequencing itself.

I'm pretty sure I had the follower settings on the module as you recommended but will double check them.

Another thing I noticed is that the follower no longer seems to go into a screen saver mode.

Agreed on the questions, it was a test to see if it reduced AI bot spam. I have lowered the count requirement so it is only needed for the first two posts.

I believe you are correct that sequencer data entry does not work as expected when in a PC configuration. We will look into this and add it to our list if it is a bug.
