    4teenth,

    We monitored with MIDIOX and we only have one MIDI Note OFF message and it works properly
    Did you manage to get EXT Instrument working ?

  • I did previously, now I can't seem to get to the note input menu by holding inst select and guide. Shift and guide will allow me to input the triggers.
  • Press shift + Guide to place triggers. Press inst select + num to enter the note memory.

    Yeah that works, god knows how I managed to do that previously as it's not written like that in the pdf manual I have. Also, it seem to not trigger the note off properly on my Behringer Model D, or at least the envelopes aren't retriggering. MIDI monitor shows there is a note off trigger before the next note so not sure what's happening there. It's fine on my Juno 106, although the last note will hang if I press stop.

    Finally, what's the best way of using it? 303 style random notes etc and hope for the best? Or figure out a bassline and then figure out how to program it in?
  • Hmm it seems that actually with 16th notes even the Juno doesn't always trigger. And recording the output into ableton and playing it back shows it's a problem with the gap between note off and the next note playing, as the same problem occurs if I just draw in a load of 16th notes in a pattern. :/
  • Ahhhh I was on an older version of the firmware. Updated to 1.023, seems a bit better, most notes trigger on the Juno, but with a slight latency :( I see there was a fix on some newer firmware that changed the ext trigger time, I'm guessing this is related to my issue? Trouble is I never got my MUX board :(
