MIDI Note Sustain Stuck/Screeching Problem on Bass

Discom · Post by **Discom** » Wed Feb 05, 2014 4:03 am

This issue will happen all the time when connected to USB midi (cheapo $5 Midi interface, which I plan to replace very soon). It only happens sometimes when connected directly to the keyboard controller (Alesis Micron). The Volca Bass gets triggered, and then the sustain on that key gets stuck and hangs until I touch the Bass keyboard strip, which will work fine by itself. Sometimes it's a high pitched screech. The problem doesn't go away until I restart both the Volca and the Keyboard. Anyone else experience this? Is it a midi timing/sync problem? Any solutions? Perhaps it could be fixed with an update?

Issue resolved: I found out it was my crappy midi interface causing the sustain hanging and screeching. I tested another usb midi interface and had no problems whatsoever with routing through the computer. I ordered a Midi upgrade; ESI M4U-XT 4x4 Midi Interface, hopefully it has super-low latency.
