I'm getting very strange behaviour with my CV 16 - hopefully someone can help me figure out what's going on...
I've assigned Track 6 to CV 16. If I then go inside and place notes on Column 1 and wire up the Ext Output 1 to v/Oct of an oscillator I can hear it change pitch. All good.
However, if I place those same notes on Column 2 no CV is output. Nothing happens. At first I wondered if the jack was busted but if I place a modulator on Column 2 (like an envelope) it will trigger and change the pitch. It's just not reacting to notes / CV (or random notes / CV).
I placed the same notes on the other columns and they play as expected though some sound a little flat.
Any ideas? Is this a calibration thing? Firmware thing? Bug?
EDIT: OK - I have figured it out - it's because if a column is ever turned into an envelope / LFO as denoted by the little icon in the column track # then setting the [i]column back to a voltage does not work. You have to force stop playback via shift+stop and at this point the CV works again. Kinda weird and a little annoying since if a column is playing and you're moving through parameter values you can easily junk up a track by wandering into the envelope/lfo parameter zone and setting that column to ^10 (for example).[/i]
It's also a little odd that you can use the CV 16 column parameters TT2 and TD2 to set triggers for other tracks but not for any of the external outputs on the CV 16 itself. For that you have to use envelopes.
It's a quirky little expander
