Hi Nerds,
I have an issue driving drum voices using TRS-MIDI with the new IO expander. When I fill in the drum matrix with 16th note triggers no triggers play. If I reduce the pattern to 8th notes everything works perfectly. But essentially, any time I have two matrix triggers next to each other only the triggers with an empty matrix space immediately before them play. E.g. if this is an 8 step loop:
00 x
01 x
02 x
03 x
04 _
05 x
06 x
07 _
only the triggers on step 00 and 05 will play.
-- edit -- I see it now, from the manual:
"MIDI GATL, MIDI GATM, MIDI GATH → Sends a Midi Note On of Note off with a velocity of 33%(L), 66%(M), 100%(H). A filled in field in the matrix sends a gate on which will stay on until the next empty field."
The issue for me is using the MIDI TRGL/M/H commands isn't really workable - on the Flame Fire they don't trigger the drums, and on the bitbox they don't reset the sample playback progress bars.
I've tried this with a Flame Fire drum module and a BitBox MK2. Both are setup to use midi GATH triggers (and otherwise work great). I can trigger both perfectly using a trigger pulse from the Nerd trigger outputs, or another module like an intellijel steppy.
Any ideas for a workaround? Is there a setting somewhere to modify the behavior, or change the timing between high and low for a TRG message?
I have a triggers expander that will work in a pinch, but case space is at a permium at the moment.
