Also, anyone pros/cons/preferences for an "all controllers off" (cc 121) tirade to go with that?The legato thing is more involved.
Especially when you say you want two or more steps with no note off or on in-between them. Problem is, in MIDI a note is defined by at least its note on message – so by that token you would have no way to trigger later notes – well, unless you were pitch bending, I guess.
That may get messy and unprecise (since pitch bend interpretation on the synth is adjustable and not hard-defined), but maybe that’s the way to go?Gabriel
I’m hard pressed to think of an example, but the ‘all controllers off’ triggers some old memory that this may not always produce the desired result. Any chance that this could be optional in some fashion?
Same problem here.
my work computer is running IE 6.0 and everything is black until I hit CTRL-A, then it is selected in the negative and I can read it.At home, I’m running Firefox 2.0 and it looks fine…with a light background.
the answer’s simpler than that…. whenever I’ve pressed it, it’s been when I’ve only had one app open.
of course, now I know what it does, I’ll have to try it to see how it interacts with parallels…
Hi,
this is indeed a generic feature in MacOS X since version 10.3 (Panther) if I am correct. This is called Exposé.
See: http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/expose/
However, the hotkey to trigger it is configurable. F9 is the default key, which Duncan may have changed.Regards,
XavierProbably I need to think a bit more about my needs. I was thinking that on a 16 steps bar, I could be willing to have notes that last 4 or 5 steps while in other parts of the track, I would take advantage of the normal resolution. I think it is all related to the visual aspect of it and how I currently work with the Octopus.
I will leave this request on hold at the moment on my side and think about it while actually experimenting with the Octopus.
Regards,

I forgot to precise that I was meaning a fixed-pitch note. As if I was pressing a key on a keyboard for a long time. Pitch bending can happen while the voice is sounding as would any other CC. Hope this helps.
As far as the "panic" feature goes, probably the "all controllers off" message is welcome. I was wondering what setting a controller off was actually meaning and I discovered that it is a reset to default values for some controllers, which I think is a very welcome thing in case something goes wrong. Thanks for enhancing, Gabriel !

Hello,
on my side, there is something that I still have problems to figure out.
I understand from the manual that you can have notes played legato if the length is set to the max.
After some email discussion with Gabriel, I understood that there were valid reasons that legato is implemented in the following manner:
– if length is set to max, then no NOTE OFF is sent for the current step. However a NOTE ON is sent on the following step.It is my understanding that a polyphonic synthesizer would see its polyphony eaten up rapidly depending on the voice allocation. For a mono synth, it would be a bit simpler but possibly with a retrigger of some envelopes.
One of my goals being simply to be able to create long pads, I would have expected that there is a way that two or more steps are tied together (i.e. no NOTE OFF nor NOT ON between two steps) so that I do not have to resort using different track speeds, effectively reducing track resolution.
Possibly, we could get that ‘tie’ feature in a future revision of the OS.Please forgive me if there are some misunderstandings on my side but that is how I see things at the moment.
Your feedback is welcome.Regards,
XavierPS: another thing I asked to Gabriel is if the Octopus could implement a kind of a ‘Panic’ button. That would basically mean a button or a combination of key presses that would lead the Octopus to send an ALL NOTES OFF and an ALL SOUNDS OFF messages on all channels of both MIDI outputs.
I know what it is now. I got tired of "finder" a long time ago as a system 7 & 8 user, & was astonished to see it virtually unchanged in os9 & now osX; still rubbish at finding things. so I have "path finder" on my macs now, & sometimes it’s a bit enthusiastic about opening stuff on it’s own, sort of using "preview" as a plug-in. this time it opened the doc so fast that the download window came up second & thus on top. osX needs a way to show open "windows" along the edge, like windows’ taskbar. the dock’s too busy-looking to be useful in this context.
well.
for the first time in history, something that windoze does slightly better. :-0d.
"This means that you have 1.0x.
Reboot the machine holding ESC pressed and you will enter the system mode. There you will see the number readout, which should be 100 (red 100)."When i reboot in system mode i have the number 102 on the circle readout (red for 100 and green on 2)…. :blink:
Why ?
