hi,
ive got a small issue, very occasionally, when im playing, i play a note but there is no sound.
( say 3 or 4 times in 2 hours)

im a bit confused, as its not consistent, and its not the same key each time, though usually its on the left hand ( so upper part of keyboard)

i know ive pressed the key, as the orange light is still on, and i can definitely see the note was not received as the vst is not showing it highlighted.

i initially notices with pianoteq vst, but have since seen the same with my virus ti, and also with the inbuilt synth.

i intially thought, perhaps i was not playing the note with enough 'force' but usually the keys are hyper sensitive. ( this suspicion was due to 9/10 its on my left hand)

i was wondering about debounce setting, but i thought this was only if key was pressed more than once, and this happens when the note has not been played previously.

( this is using factory setup 4, mac os 10.8.5, alpha with basestation pro)

it seems to be increasing in frequency, but this may not be the case, it may be that im just playing faster etc as im getting used to the alpha.

any thoughts on what might cause this, technique? solutions?

cool, i did see a similar post here (perhaps yours?)... But was unclear if it was same issue
Reply, implied he latest release does allow setting debounce...

pehaps john can confirm, is this the bootstrap firmware in the basestation and in 2.0.74
, or the alphas, ive 1.6 on the alpha but could upgrade it to 1.7 if needed.

btw dhjdhj, did you see my eigenfreed post on g+, using max without eigend :)

For me, this is happening after I've been playing for some time.
Also, there's no lag, just no data going through to vst.

EDIT: ive now posted instructions on how to determine your firmware version etc.... im not sure if there is a more friendly way, but its the way I worked it out :o)

I get the same instcfg as you. (Basecfg slightly differs, it's 02011600dd090f000...)
Installed every released experimental/testing/stable EigenD version since 1.x days on my machine, so it's unlikely that you just missed the version that would have done an automatic update - probably there was none.

dh - yes he did. I hope he continues with it. BTW: If you click on his name only at G+, you'll see only the posts he's started.

Is that external available to others? How does it get the data from the Eigenharp ? Does it communicate directly via USB?

Mark, I have occasionally experienced similarly missing notes when playing very fast arpeggios on my Pico. Like you, I have only noticed it after EigenD has been running a long time. When it happens I can repeat it within a few seconds. It continues with all other apps closed, but clears with restarting EigenD.
