Hi Germain,
First for all this try to use the preset "Slow Daydream" by Drew Anderson. This preset is both in SEM V1 and V2.
And please compare between SEM V1 and SEM V2.
I use Windows 10 64 bit, Studio One 3 latest version 64bit.
The issue is both in standalone as VST.
I'm not able to reproduce these issues :
- "Sometimes it seems like it don't react on parameter changes before you turn a modulator off and on or even changes to another parameter and return"
No that's the problem with periodic faults. But believe me all the reported in this thread i have experienced. It do behave like that sometimes. So testers need to spend time with the applications and try things out several times and in different ways.
I will make feature requests for these :
- "Coarses are in the programmer shown in % and not by pitch like it should."
- "other playmodes have the options to both start the sequence from step 1 or to continue from where it."
In the old Oberheiem SEM V at least the playmode "FWD RETRIGGER" did go to step 1 of the sequence. Now it goes to step 2. None playmodes go to step 1 in V2. There is a bug.
I'm glad if there will be even better possibilities for all playmodes thanks. Even better if they work when using Hold function both to shift at once and to wait when a key is hit to shift note until the first note in the sequnce.
OFF corse for instance a backwards sequence shall start/ reset at the last step. Things need to work in a relevant way for the different playmodes.
What do you mean ? :
- "The steps are not played and shown as they should. And try the backward/ forward playmode it behave very odd. It's clear on the preset "Slow Daydream"."
- "Also a preset like "Needlework" is suddenly turned down."
- "other playmodes have the options to both start the sequence from step 1 or to continue from where it. Sometimes the notes is stuck in this playmode"
Reassign Mode is not really explain in the manual so here is how it works (but maybe you've got something else...):
play & hold C1 -> assigned to Voice 1
play & hold D1 -> assigned to Voice 2
play & hold E1 -> assigned to Voice 3
Release D1 -> Voice 2 is now free
play & hold F1 -> assigned to Voice 2
play & hold G1 -> assigned to Voice 4
Sorry but "Reassign" playmode don't work like that. The Notes mostly get stuck and only use step 2+3. I have exsperienced different behavior where it acted random like. But never like you describe.
And all other playmodes don't work either.
If i use playmodes FWD, BWD and FWD-BWD, then i get a rotate behavior.
For all testing - Turn of the Hold function and Try play a single note, lift your finger and hit the same note again and again .... Steps rotate (if they are not played random.)
In FWD-BWD playmode the sequence change direction at step 2 when sequence come down from step 8, and at step 1 when sequence go up. I could understand and would at least want the possibility to have step 1 and 8 repeated to get a full 16 note sequence if i need to, but the way it act is not logical or usable.
If i use playmode FWD Retrigger it takes the note next to the last note the sequence played and then jump to step 2.
And about notes not played as they should.
We still use the same preset. You can have the Hold function on for this test.
First Compare the notes pitch between SEM V1 and SEM V2.
In SEM 2 you sometimes hear more notes than one. They are not tuned. In V1 this don't happen.
If you also try to turn the volume for the SUB up, then you will notice it play the same note all the time relative to the note you play. In V1 this don't happen. It's not following the sequence step tuning. Use the SUB OSC's SINE wave to get it as clear as possible if you are in doubt.
Also turning off the effects can help and show it has nothing to do with the effects.
You should be able to hear what i mean if you compare SEM V1 and SEM v2 using this preset.
Also the behaviors you should be able to see comparing the SEM versions. But SEM V1 do not have the best working playmodes either as only FWD Retrigger go to step 1/ a relevant logical note when hitting a key.
Best
