MODSTEP midi pitch wheel not responding

Anyone else experienced this? Tried sending pitch bend to Microbrute and Volca Keys, with a korg micro key and a roland A-49 without success, both work through AUM.

Comments

  • And impossible to sequence volca beats.... MODSTEP could be so great, but it seems it is not (yet?)... sh...

  • I do experience this. Mainly with AU's, modwheel not responding too. It sometimes works with IAA synths I think... I hope this will get sorted out soon.

  • Volca beats sequencing problem occur when quantized, or via drum sequencer....

    Anyway, should post this to MODSTEP developer...

  • Swing is related to the problem also...

  • I have this too, trying to use pitch-bend/modwheel on my external keyboard to apps that are (midi) routed (the apps are hosted in AB/AUM) via ModStep, but even though I see the lights are blinking the signals aren't pushed through to the target app/synth.

  • For the first time in a long time I tried to use Modstep this am and it ended up loosing audio while in Audiobus.

    Is this a common issue?

  • That is something I've noticed as well: MS doesn't play nicely with AB. I mainly use AB to route to AUM (to get session save and still mixer) but ModStep I have to route directly in AUM as it doesn't work well in AB.

    I also contemplated skipping the session save (and AB) but it turns out Alchemy isn't playing that we'll if routed directly in AUM (along with a bunch of other synths) so AB stays and MS got new routing.

  • Right, just to update: I solved it all by changing the (midi) routing from MidiFlow. It used to split up my midi signal to 12 different channels depending on other CC's set on my midikeyboard, and pass that on to ModStep, which then passed the midi on to the instruments on those channels.

    The instruments themselves were, if possible, loaded in AB with audio sent to AUM, where the rest of the apps (AU's, or other apps that didn't play along well with AB) were routed, audio wise. This means all apps went through AUM in any case, so I swapped the endpoint in MidiFlow from sending to ModStep to instead sending to AUM.

    AUM in turn sends the midi along to the apps in question, but it ALSO passes on the midi to ModStep. Hey, presto, even though AUM doesn't have pitch-bend/ModWheel it passes those signals on to the instruments, and I have re-gained control over those controls, and I can still record both midi/audio in a flexible fashion.

    A sketch (just a hand drawing) of this would be lovely.

  • Right, just a quick sketch, so might have forgotten something, but it roughly looks like this right now. Not finished, have some more testing to do, but currently it feels good, as it always does until you run into the next snag. :)

    I swear, a year ago, I would have looked at this and thought, TO HELL WITH THAT!
    Now, I'm like, Jussi, TF7 and Samplr? That's got to sound fantastic!

    Ha ha, yeah, it does actually. It all sounds so good I am forgetting to press record when noodling as I just keep playing. Have just come out from a 4-hour-in-the-zone kinda thing.

    The weirdest thing with all of it is that it is awesome for live playing. There aren't many things you can't do with a set-up like this (though I've yet to add my guitar to the mix as well of course). The weird part is that I don't play live. I just had to see if I could set it all up, both in theory and in practice. :smiley:

    I've run in to quite a bunch of bugs/niggles that I had no idea of previously, and which I've had to work my way around. I've really started to appreciate instruments/apps with good midi settings both in/out. Also, apps that don't have a midi-panic button I'm not a big fan of right now.

    What isn't shown on the sketch is that the devices connect to an ICM4+ btw (as in cables and wires etc).
