Monologue XD Bugs/Glitches/Quirks

Post by KorgyMutt »

Luv my new XD But...A few bugs/quirks that I hope are fixable in the future:

1. ARP latch doesn't work with motion sequencer running (The arp runs while motion/play running but no latch)
2. MOTION/SMOOTH EDIT doesn't work when knob movements input with STEP MODE - doesn't smooth.
3. More SHIFT+KNOB functions - especially SHIFT+TEMPO=GATE.
4. BPM Delay SYNC
5. * ARP latch fixed with the latest update
6. Original Value in the display would be nice
7. Current MOD EFX Value display - as it is now, you cant see the efx unless you hit the switch and that changes the efx -and then you have to cycle back to it...weird.



Please add others that you have thought of that can make the XD just a little more awesome :)

I reckon if the synth is making no sound, the patch name/number would be more informative than a flatline on the display.

Not following you. When I am tweaking a patch (of my own or a preset) I think its rather informative to be able to know what the original value is so you can get back to it - especially in a live performance. The MS2000 has this function and not only is it informative, it's really useful. The work around is to have the knobs on "catch" mode but not really a fan of that behavior.

Two More

• BPM can be adjusted between 10-300 in SEQ EDIT mode but the tempo knob only allows 56-240

•BPM Delay does not sync

Sure, I'm not suggesting otherwise. My suggestion was that when the synth is sitting there minding its own business, not making any noise, I'd rather be reminded of the patch name and number than see a flat line as I do now (the waveform display at its least interesting).

More Bugs?

Post by KorgyMutt »

Oh, ok. Yes, I agree.

Not sure if these are really "bugs"...

Smooth edit only works one way - record smooth then you can turn it off to get stepping. Record motion in step - cant smooth it.

I also had a tuning problem glitch: Initialized a patch and for about 30 seconds, every other key press - more or less - and it would be out of tune. It worked itself out eventually but as I've indicated, it behaved that way for about 30 sec. The instrument had been on only for a few minutes. Hmmm. Thx for any feedback

Updated List

1. ARP latch doesn't work with motion sequencer running (The arp runs while motion/play running but no latch)
2. MOTION/SMOOTH EDIT doesn't work in STEP MODE - doesn't smooth motions.
3. More SHIFT+KNOB functions would be nice.
4. BPM Delay SYNC needed
5. * ARP latch fixed with the latest update
6. Original Value in the display would be nice
7. Current MOD EFX Value display - you have to switch efx and then cycle back to it...weird.
8. MANUAL MODE ARP doesn't always behave when inputting multiple arp notes per step - won't always play them back in order you play them in STEP MODE. For example - inputting CDAB plays fine then next step DEBC won't (just an example - it might work). It works most of the time but not always with no rhyme or reason.
