MINOR: Changing a "beat wide" parameter to != 0, then back to 0 does not revert to the original sound (Only clicking the "Revert" soft button (or sending CC#19) does).
Keep in mind that, beside velocity, polyphonic aftertouch is the only MIDI message than can affect individual notes/sounds! Don't think of it just in terms of actual key/pad pressure! The synth should also be able to receive PolyAT messages _before_ the note-ons so that voices immediately starts with the correct modulations.
It can also be reproduced by playing a MIDI sequence for a while (and doing nothing else). The bug can be reproduced by triggering sounds via MIDI, then playing some sounds on top of that. Stopping all voices via "left shift + right shift + stop" does not fix this. When assigning a fixed voice to non-triggering sounds, it becomes apparent that certain voices still work while others do not. Sounds cannot be triggered anymore until the synth is power-cycled/reset. This firmware has a major, show-stopping bug that "randomly" causes voices to go permanently silent. I just got a Tempest and upgraded it to the latest firmware (after encountering some known issues with the last official 1.4 release).Īccording to "Show system information", the synth now has: but I am humble enough for that to be the situation!įirst of all, hello everyone, this is my first post here. It will indeed blow my mind if I have been mistaken all this time. I have become very comfortable with the MIDI routing of the Tempest over the last few years and I must admit, your answer is truly confusing to me. If my understanding of all of these parameters is correct, please explain why you say that B16 would send MIDI out? Also, why would B15 as set on the Polyphonic Synthesizer Keyboard Play screen have anything to do with Remote Pad Play, especially when my Remote Pad OUT Channel was set to "OFF"? MIDI Note: PadA1-PadB16 (Chooses the MIDI notes associated with each of the 32 Pads for both MIDI IN and OUT) Remote Pad OUT Channel (Chooses the MIDI channel that an external device will see MIDI notes on) Remote Pad IN Channel (Chooses the MIDI channel that an external controller uses to send note information to the pads) They are implemented to externally mirror either the input of the pads or mirror the output of the pad sequencing: These parameters are completely separate from the "Polyphonic Synthesizer" parameters and act independently from it. MIDI: Sequencer Sound (Chooses the pad that will send sequencer MIDI notes to the external synth) MIDI: Sequencer Out Channel (Chooses the MIDI channel that an external synth will see MIDI notes on) This of course will not be polyphonic, because the Tempest can not record polyphonic information on an individual pad: These parameters are for routing outgoing MIDI from the sequence of an individual pad to an external synthesizer. MIDI: Synth Sound (Chooses the pad the external keyboard will be directed to) MIDI: Synth IN Channel (Chooses the MIDI channel the external keyboard will play) System: MIDI Polyphonic Synthesizer Keyboard Play These parameters are for routing incoming MIDI with the intent of using a keyboard controller to control an individual pad to be played as a polyphonic synthesizer:
I reread a portion of the manual and it doesn't seem to agree with what you are saying.
