I thought I'd give my Pico a test run for the first time tonight.
I ran the EigenD software, and set the Clarinet mode

I try to play the Clarinet, and it seems to work but it's like when I press a key it seems to sound like the key is being pressed on and off and on and off, really fast.
I notice this on the piano too, when I press a key I get repeated notes, really quick repeated notes.
And often the metronome keeps going on (even when I don't want it on). I keep trying to turn it off, and it just keeps turning on again, or turns off, intermittently.

Can anyone help me, I feel like ripping my hair out. This is sooooo frustrating.
Please help :-(

Something else that I'm thinking of, if you really don't press at all on the keys and barely touch them while keeping your hands on the same position ... you get quick notes being pressed on and off. This is because the Pico's keys are so sensitive. You have to provide a very slight amount of pressure. Maybe that's the reason for what's happening for you?

But why does the metronome keep getting turned on and off intermittently then?
I know the keys are sensitive, sure they are, but this is bordering on absolutely ridiculous.
If I turn the metronome off then it should simply stay off, and if I turned it on, likewise. I'm talking about the round button next to the main mode button, which seems to be a simple switch. So it's not like it's one of the square keys.

Hope I'm not misunderstood.

You never replied to my initial questions. Did you install the latest software release? Did you check your breath pipe?

I think he solved the problem by installing the latest version of EigenD according to this thread - http://eigenlabs.com/forum/threads/id/295/
