Hi madddk,
sorry for the late reply.
In theory what you describe should be possible, but it strongly depends on the capabilities of th Midi interface. It has to have a through/merge functionality.I would recommend a standard Midi thru box, but these usually only have 1 input, which is not enough in your case.
Do you have a certain midi interface in mind?
Ah ok, then you already did it that way. It just sounded different from what you wrote above.
Great!The top 16 buttons in mixer mode are for the drum mutes in a drumtrack, so I´m not really comfortale reassigning them to another piece of information.
I´m not quite sure that we are talking about the same thing yet.
Wht I meant was: go into “Load” menu by pressing the Load button once.
Then, once the Load button is flashing (you are in Load menu), hold the Load button, and while holding it press the Mixer button. This turns the light on in the mixer button (while staying in Load menu), and means that whenever a pattern gets loaded now, all the mutes are being ignored. So, when you are in a pattern chain for example, only the notes will get updated on load, and you can use the mutes freely to jam.This works of version 1.5 and you can also find an explanation of the feature I mean in the video here: https://youtu.be/BViPKIduS5k?t=92
Nono, that´s not what I meant (although that function does exist).
I meant going into Load Mode, then hold the “load” button and press the “mixer” button at the same time. The light in the mixer button comes on and then all the mute settings will be ignored upon load.
Have you tried the new load mode as of version 1.5?
When you press “Load” & “Mixer” while being in Load menu you toggle the loading mode of the patterns (with or without mutes). When the “Mixer” Button is lit up, the mutes are ignored upon load. This is meant as a performance feature and is not stored in memory (has to be repeated after startup).I´m not quite sure but I assume the lower ones can also become problematic. I´d like to carry them in my store but I haven´t found a source for them. The part number without the push function is : PEC12R-4030F-N0024. You could try a shorter shaft, but I´m not sure if that´ll work nicely: http://www.mouser.de/ProductDetail/Bourns/PEC12R-4025F-N0024/?qs=%2fha2pyFaduh8y9mbdil%252bRW5zgNyr6WP4XONci8B9Ln4ThM1j%252bN3cEuDrBjflQq20
I would advise against replacing every encoder. They are not easy to solder.
Rather check out this tip as well: https://zaqaudio.com/forums/topic/possible-fix-for-problem-encoders
I must admit, I´m all out of ideas.
Last one: can you borrow a different USB Midi interface from somewhere, or order one to try it with another interface?
I have a RME Fireface 400 here and when I upload it with that, “LOAd” never changes and nothing happens.
I know you wrote you successfully used your interface before, but it doesn´t hurt to try.
guys… this is the first time I had to edit the forum to keep out hostility. I ask you nicely to keep it civil and not try to step on each other´s toes intentionally.
this goes to both sides in this “conflict”.One more idea, have you tried uploading another firmware, either an old Zaquencer or the original Behringer? Does that behave differently? Maybe the update file got corrupted somehow.
Can you please describe what steps you´re taking to upload it?
Also, which system (Win, Mac) and interface are you using? Which software are you using (MidiOx…)? Have you tried Elektron C6 as an alternative?
Hi CRMVMT,
thanks for the kind words and for sharing your input!This is a wish I actually concur with, but unfortunately it´s a technical limitation on the BCR´s part. The CPU just cannot handle a higher time resolution, which would be necessary for finer grained shuffle settings.
Hi Adi,
thanks for sharing your request!
The way the software is structured right now it would be a major hassle implementing individual MIDI channels per drum note. Tbh, I do not see it as feasible anytime soon.Have you checked out the Retrokits MIDI cable for the Korg Volca Sample? It lets you do what you ask and more: https://www.retrokits.com/rk002/
Cheers!
Hi,
from your description it sounds like the Zaquencer is set to generate amessage on step 11 that adjusts Volca Sample´s gain. Have you checked the Midi Ctrl Alpha/Beta settings on step 11?According to the chart on this page: http://www.korg.com/us/support/download/manual/0/370/2004/ the Volca Sample expects a Midi CC message on CC Nr 7 to adjust the gain.
As another detail the chart says “Received when global parameter MIDI RX ShortMessage is set to ON.” Can you try to set this to off and see what happens?
Hmm… it sounds strange. I have a feeling the hardware might be to blame, maybe a faulty sector in the flash rom or something.
P-Er means that there was an error loading the pattern paramters. There is a safety check on load to ensure that the parameters are within certain ranges. If a paramter is out of range for whatever reason, the error P-Er is shown and the pattern load aborted. You can check if only the first pattern got corrupted by copying over another pattern to slot 1.
Also If you don´t mind losing your existing patterns, if you do a reinit (hold “Page < " and "Stop/Play" during startup), you clear all patterns (and global settings) so that the error should definitely be gone.One more thing: the error is designed so that it actually should never show.
While I can´t say for certain why it shows up on your device, it hints to something funky going on and maybe points to the flash rom again.If you wish to discuss further steps, please send me an email to support@zaqaudio.com.
If you´re talking about the tap write feature you´re right, it´s only registering note on at the moment. You can however manually adjust the note length for the steps you´re recording onto. You should be able to do that adjustment even before the recording and it will determine how it´s being played back right after recording a sequence.
