I don’t think it’s the CC wave, never used it and had the problem pretty frequently. I do however switch pattern length a lot on the fly, 32 steps, 3 steps, 16steps, etc…
but – coming back to the extra note-on without note-off bug. I do not have it only when sending chords. Now it happens too when editing note height on a pattern. I use a sequencer start on step 4 and end it on step 8 and suddenly it appears again.
Actually at the rate these note hangs are happening I’m surprised Christian has not experienced it, I really hope it is not a hardware quirk….
I enclosed the BCR2000 in a custom panel quite soon (RK2000) because the original design is indeed eherm… an acquired taste…. I also changed every encoder to solid detent-encoders but I would not recommend it to anyone because the BCR2000 PCB traces are just too feeble to survive properly. However: I now have the sequencer I want (apart from the note hanging…)
As I understand Zaquencer has already been demod to Behringer but they were not interested?
Just had another occurance with a chord step, pretty soon after this:
initialize patch with lowest notes (shift dial note, all to 0)
same to note mute, initialize to all on
same with note length, all to 16th
set pattern length to 16 steps.
dial in chords, various ones.
set notes to note 72
change chord modes randomly
set pattern length to 6
set pattern length to 1high note is generated and hangs, even out of keyboard range, seems an A on the highest octave
I have the same note hang as well, throughout all different firmwares. At first I was not sure if it was from the Zaq or another midi device but now I connected the Zaq straight to a Roland D50 and I got the same problem so it is not a thru device of such. Not sure if it is a BCR2000 electrical problem but I could hardly imagine…
I had this artifact earlier on a volca keys, but then the volca’s have some flakey midi implementation so I did not immediately suspect the Zaq. In that case I would almost say it was consistent in generating the highest C but on the D50 it was another note.
Latest occurrence I had with this was working with chord steps. But before I was thinking maybe it is because I am changing pattern length/start/stop point on the fly.
This note hanging is very annoying, you can’t have this when you are live and suddenly there is a (false)note you can’t stop.
I want to send you a global dump but the problem as well is that it is so random… it always appears when you forget the bug testing and start making songs. I haven’t found a clear way to reproduce it.
Great News Christian, sorry I missed that – I’ll be looking forward to using those nifty new features then!
Adding (Eudlidean) randomness factor to the patterns would indeed be great, I saw this on patchblocks as well (and similar on the Beatstep Pro). Being able to change the intensity of triggered notes in a pattern would definitely be an ace addition to this already super piece of firmware.
