Re: [xl7] Re: notes getting cut off in external gear

2004-05-18 by Aaron Eppolito

When you move through a track, it sends an all notes off for that track
if it's an external (or both) track.  I suppose I thought this was a
good idea.  It's somewhat of a copout instead of keeping track of every
note played via pads or soft-thru'ed MIDI so that you could send each
note off when you switch away from the track.

We do this for internal tracks (i.e. all notes off *just* for notes
played by hand) because the synth architecture made it easy, but the
data structures weren't there for the ext stuff, and I didn't have time
to put them there.

If you want (and can in your external gear) disable all notes off, but
then make sure not to hold any notes while you switch tracks, or else
you'll get stuck notes.
