unexpected rotary stop issue with control pedal

Post by minodida »

Hello all,

I have a stage 4, one control pedal connected to the control port.
Using morph, I assign the rotary speed to the control pedal.
Stop Mode is off (red light is not lit).

When I push the pedal, so far so good :) The more I push, the faster the rotary.
But, when I come back to the 0 position, the rotary effect stops as if the stop mode was enabled, while it should continue at very minimum speed. This is annoying.

I tried to play with the pedal settings (shift 6), tried different pedal types, tried to add some gain... but now way. At minimal position, the rotary stops. While if I use the switch button slow/fast, when it comes back to slow, it's slow, not stopped.

I have OS Version 1.24.
Has this "bug" been reported already ? Maybe it's been fixed ? I have to check the changelogs.


Many thx !
David.

Hi and welcome to NUF :-)

that's how the Morph applied to Rotary Speed works and it has always been like that also on previous NS versions: it does not emulate a Half Moon (with stop at center) but instead it lets you continuously control the speed from 0 (pedal up) to max speed (pedal down); so no bug, it is by design.

Thx a lot for your reply.

Turned out 2 things: on my control pedal, I never noticed until then that there is a knob you can turn left and right from the 0 position to add/substract an offset. It's a super feature in fact. I accidentally turned it negatively and that why I had a very bizarre behavior overall.
Especially, when my pedal was at max, it only reached 51% :) I thought the pedal was dead for a moment until I found the knob and understood.

Don't want to dig into details, but I now have the behavior I expected to not have 0 but a very minimum which is totally perfect.

So sorry guys, no bug or bizarre feature at all: just another knob very recently discovered :)

Kind regards

David.
