NS3 Confusing Arpeggiator Behaviour

Postby phenoplastic » 21 Feb 2018, 11:10

I've set up a patch where I have a synth patch in the top split zone, using an arpeggiator to retrigger notes. It works as expected, until I select KB hold for the synth, then immediately the arpeggiator is active across the entire keyboard, (where the synth isn't active) ignoring the splits. Then I can't use the lower zone without it messing up the arpeggiator.

Is this normal, or have a discovered a bug?

I'm not sure I completely follow, but are you having an arp that plays only notes in the upper keyboard zone -- but when you press KB HOLD then you will get notes also outside of the designated zone (but from the same synth)?

If so, it sounds like a bug to me; I'll test later when I'm with my board.

I do not have the issue here. I created a hard split points (no crossfade) and the arpeggiator stays in the right place with the synth at the top.

Does your split have crossfade on the synth’s split ?

let me clarify - the arpeggiator is part of the synth, I believe, so should only operate on the synth. However the zone which is set to piano is triggering the synth as well, through the arpeggiator. It's not playing notes down in the piano section, but it's 'reading' those notes and sending them to the synth and retriggering the synth arpeggiator. Definitely seems wrong.

I had my piano on all zones except the synth zone and no issue on my side. @baekgaard and others will try it to confirm or not the issue as well.

OK, I figured it out - I didn't know about the master clock KB sync setting, which operates over the whole keyboard. Now that's off it's behaving as I wanted it to.
Thanks all for your input!

Great; there is usually an explanation (but not always) :-)
