This is very much still an issue for me, and i'm a bit baffled as to why it hasn't been addressed given that it was reported so long ago.
With local control off, notes are transmitted, as one would expect. Unfortunately, if they are round tripped back into the Model D (standard use of local control off), the unit seems to filter out incoming notes! I emailed a week and a half ago, provided extra details, and never heard back. I talked to Adam this morning. He promised to relay my concerns to the engineers, but there was no real word on why I hadn't gotten a response.
Pressing a key should not gate incoming midi notes off with local control off. The playback and output should be completely independent as far as incoming midi processing is concerned. If there is a hardware reason that this was impossible to implement properly, I'd like to hear about. No response is positively fishy. I've always had great luck with the Moog staff up until now. Very odd.
I believe my firmware is updated to the latest. Is anyone aware of an update or relevant instruction that I may have missed?
Many thanks in advance.
