I noticed two things about the Arp today and I’m wondering if they are bugs (this is a Stage 1 with updated OS).
#1 When holding a single low note (bottom D), there’s no difference between the 0-octave and 1-octave range settings. Both play an octave.
#2 Also holding the low D, if I hold another note along with it and then let go, but keep holding the D, then the pitch of the D drops what sounds like an octave. This often happens over and over when I hold and release other notes, so that the original D goes into sub-pitch click territory. In other words, I’m not able to hold one low note as a drone and selectively add/drop notes above it, because the original note drops and drops.
Has anyone else noticed either of these behaviours? Are they bugs? Thanks…
I can only speak to your observation #1, which was discovered shortly before the OS update was released, but it wasn’t so consequential to merit holding up the update to correct. The octave bounce only occurs when single notes are held with the 0-octave range setting; when more than one note is held, the Arp works properly. I’ve been told it will be corrected in the next update.
AFAIK, your observation #2 appears to be new. What settings are you using when this happens?
Thanks for the reply. The preset was Brassish Lead, and the settings on the arp were INT clock, 0-octave, latch off, 1/8 division, UP pattern, and BACK/FORTH.
So I’m curious … Has anyone else replicated this behaviour on their own LP?
P.S. It seems that on mine it only happens on BACK/FORTH, and not on LOOP, although I haven’t tried all possible setting combinations. Also, it seems to be independent of the preset.
