Hold button acting weird

Post by hiltonking » Sun Jan 26, 2020 6:18 pm

Just got the Grandmother.

Have done a quick search but haven't found anything on this.

The hold button seems to be acting weird. I have a recorded sequence. When I have the hold button lit and then hit a key the sequence plays about once through and then the pitch descends until there's just a dull throbbing. And with the arp it just plays one note in an approximately 16th note pattern. When the hold button is not lit, everything works as expected.

that sounds odd. have you contacted Moog yet?

slim chance of a solution: try powering it off, then on, using the power switch only

when I had my GM hooked into a powerbar, it started acting weird if I powered it up/down using the powerbar.

I presume anything with a CPU should really be powered off using it's own switch

Thanks. I figured it out. I was plugged in by USB MIDI to my iMac and Logic. Unplugged it. It works correctly. So going forward I think I need to adjust the global settings if I want to use those features with a computer. The same thing happens with my minilogue. And is solved y making the synth accept external clock instead of its own.
