Thanks!

Tried a factory reset & bank restore?

Ok I can see what's happening now. Some patches come through with the wrong algorithm selected. If you cycle through the algorithms on the volca you usually get to a close match to the patch. Best to check the algorithm on the patch in Dexed. God spot, that explains a couple weird things that ...

Have you tried the new firmware, I believe it fixes an issue with the Amp Mod Sense which might have that sort of effect...

I have seen one report of someone successfully recording and playing back the "clone" settings i.e. recording from the Sync Out port and playing back into the Sync In port. IIRC recording had to be stereo & they had to artificially boost the volume of the playback as it was too quiet otherwise. I ...

I got mine from GAK today.

It's very nice, but the lack of MIDI note velocity is glaringly obvious.

I managed to jury rig a "MIDI pipe" to work around the omission for now.

EDIT: I've hacked together a simple Max4Live device that lets Ableton do the same.

Getting mine on Thursday!

Configure the DAW to not send sync messages. (In Ableton you do this by unchecking the Sync Out box in the MIDI settings (but leave the Track box checked). I think the Logic equivalent is in the project preferences pages. Not sure about other DAWs).

It must be getting close, a couple of UK outlets have their Volca FM demo videos posted now..

If you're hooked up to a Mac you could use MIDIpipe to change each note message to cc41+note sequences. From everything I've heard that would seem likely to work. Still waiting on my FM to be shipped, so I can't say for sure, but that's the first "solution" I'm going to try. I understand the ...

Nyquist is a frequency of half the sampling frequency, if it's not sampling there is no Nyquist. I'm not sure what effect you're found here, but I think we can be pretty sure it's not aliasing even if it sounds like it. If you're over your audio interface Nyquist limit your audio box filters should ...

Sorry no, I can't make any recommendations, I use a 20 year old mixer I still have (Spirit Folio Notepad) or direct to DAW on individual channels. I'm not sure what's good in the current market.

I have heard that the Volcas can exhibit sync issues if you use cable splitters like that. You should really be using a mixer. I'd say that's the issue if it works fine without the splitter attached.

Have you tried MIDI OX or another MIDI monitor program to see if the notes are being originated from Cubase okay?

Have you tried directly connecting a controller to the volca?

Did you check what MIDI channel the volca is set to?

Hold MEMORY while starting the Volca up, if it doesn't say 1 on display, press the key 1 and then the Record button to save the setting.
