CV 16 & External Keyboard

[XORadmin]

Hi, thanks for your thoughts.  I’ve been caught up with work, so was on a long break from the modular.  Now back in a flow.  I’ve updated to the latest firmware/beta (1.25 A).

Michael, I tried exactly that, but no luck.  I have track 3 assigned to CV 16.  Under “Track Setup” I’ve tried all combinations, including “3+3 env” but when I play my keystep, no sound plays.  When I enter values directly in the pattern, it plays just fine.  I want to be able to play live and record this though.  I have the first two lanes assigned to TCV so I can enter a note as well as a trigger.  The third lane is Track Modulation and the remaining three of the six are CV outputs 1, 9 and 2.

Now, when opposed to the CV 16,  I create a plain modular track, then I can hear my sounds just fine.  But, a problem I’m having now, is that I can’t record my input…. 

So, to be more specific, I’ve created a modular track 5 and plugged the CV out from track 5 into my BIA module, as well as the trigger out into the same module.  When I play on my keyboard, I can hear the sounds just fine (unlike when I was using the CV 16, when I hear nothing).  Under setup, “Input/Record Setup,” I have MIDI Channel 5 going to Track 5 Record.  I play notes on the keyboard and hear notes on my BIA.  Yet, when I hit shift record, nothing records.  I have “Midi Data Input” set to on.

In contrast, I can record just fine on my MIDI tracks.  I felt like I could record modular tracks in the past, but it’s been some months, so not sure what’s happening.  Thanks for any thoughts!

Thanks guys.  I just realized I was recording without having hit play on the given pattern.  Now it works to record note values, but I can’t record triggers and hence hear sound.  I have the first two lanes set up as track CV and when entering in manually I use “TT2” in the second lane to create a trigger.

If you record like 3+3 then it would insert envelopes in the other fields which belong to the notes. You would need to connect these to your VCA then to get the sound.(And set up the envelopes of course) Else you could use them also as a kind of triggers if configured well.
