I don’t have a MIDI loop in my setup, because local is off. However, here’s another video to show you the issue. In it, I use a totally separate controller from sound module, so MIDI echoing shouldn’t be a problem.
Here are the exact steps to reproduce this problem:
Physical connections:
MIDI Controller out (eg. Yamaha S90ES) -> Hermod midi in
Hermod midi out -> MIDI Sound Module in (eg. Yamaha MX61)
(You can also use one keyboard as Controller + Sound Module, as long as you have local echo disabled)
- Power cycle Hermod so it’s at default settings
- Set Track 1 Effect 2 to MIDI OUTPUT
- Play the Controller, you should hear the Sound Module
- Start Hermod Record mode
- Record a few chords in a loop
- Disable Hermod Record mode, but let it keep looping
- While the chords are playing, play a note on the Controller that overlaps one of the playing chord notes
- Hear that note sustain forever! (this is very bad)
- Stop Hermod
- Play more notes on the Controller, the note that was sustaining forever will continue to sustain forever when played, all other notes will sustain normally
- Power cycle the Sound Module. Once done, notes should sustain normally
- Start Hermod playing and repeat steps 7-12 until you want to throw Hermod out a window
Can anyone else please confirm this problem? It seems like a really weird problem to have, and I want to make sure it isn’t just me!
