Hi,
Just wanted to give an update on what support said:
regarding the binaural mode lock - Binaural is intentionally, or I guess necessarily, locked on when:
Quote:
-
When voice assign modes Solo, Legato and Unison are enabled.
-
When you select X-Fade and/or one of the available key-tracking modes, as there are 6 pairs of VCAs for the mixer.
-
When MPE mode is enabled. MPE requires individual note articulation, which means that different control voltages are required for each note that triggers a voice. As the analog hardware only allows for 6 notes to have different control voltages, MPE mode is limited to 6 binaural voices.
This checks out for me I couldn’t reproduce any issues that fell outside these constraints.
regarding firmware updates not applying:
They just re-iterated that C+D lighting up during boot was a typo in the update instructions (no idea why they don’t just update these) and that B+C is the correct combination I guess implying that it won’t re-apply an update of the same version.
regarding the NRPN:
They said they disabled NRPN transmit because it had caused too many support requests in combination with other devices. They did say there might be some sort of expert mode in future. Also pointed out that the device would still receive NRPN with option 2 on. Bit of a shame that they’ve not at least updated the manual to reflect this. I’m absolutely certain I had NRPN TX on at some point before resetting, must have glitched it somehow ( see my logs above ).
Many thanks for all your comments.
