Re: [Evolver] Note range problem solved

2003-01-11 by simonbirds <kpr77@iprimus.com.au>

I've found out what the problem is - simple.

I have been programming a patch that uses the sequencer. Then I have 
been stopping the sequencer, disabling the internal clock and playing 
the patch from the keyboard/from cubase.

Now, because I have sequencer row 1's destination set to oscillator 
pitch - the pitch is transposed by whatever the first step is set to. 
Dohh. Obvious really. 

Sorry for wasting everyones time.

Simon
