Title: Stuck notes when using BSP with Microbrute
Post by: clay1334 on December 18, 2015, 10:49:52 pm

I just purchased a Beatstep Pro a few days ago and I've ran into an issue. When using the BSP to sequence my Microbrute via midi I seem to get a lot of stuck notes. I have updated the firmware and made sure my midi channel settings are looking good in the editor. Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so, are there any known fixes or should I try to exchange my BSP?

Well that is really disappointing. I really love this thing but these stuck notes kind of kill it for me. Is there a known fix or firmware update scheduled to fix it that you know of? If not, I might end up returning it.

I´ve made a ticket directly on Arturia for this, which is pending for a few days now.
Hope there will be a fix, otherwise i have to return my units  :(

I've had stuck notes occur with my MiniBrute SE, hooked up to the BSP over MIDI.  I've had a VirusB and Korg/Arp Odyssey hooked up too and am fairly sure I haven't heard it with them. 

From a tech standpoint, it may be a problem with the MIDI implementation on the BSP using the MIDI spec's "Running Status" or the different ways of specifying NoteOff in a way the 'Brutes sometimes can't handle.

Or, there just could be issues where Note Off events end up not being output by the BSP, perhaps when looping patterns with TIEd notes.

Hi, From the testing I did it was only a problem with the midi din out and it is when a midi note off message is not transmitted . And you get a overlapping note but it a bug as the note number after the this issue will transmit more notes without note off messages.

Hi, I Beatstep Pro before, but I sold it because of the known problems (primarily because stuck notes).
But some time passed and there is new firmware updates. So my question is:

Is there still problem with stuck notes in firmware    1.3.0.23?

stuck notes are still a problem with the newest firmware, with no solution at the time.
