Several bugs in Mighty Piano Roll.

Post by rfj »

Hi. Mighty Piano Roll seems to be the thing I've waited for in VM since day one, BUT....... there are a couple of mistakes in it.
When in step record mode there's no way to reset to first step when recording is cleared.
Also, fuzzy behauviour when setting step and note duration. I've chosen 1/16 as step and note duration but everytime I press a key the recorded step is 1/4 or 1/2.
When I slide notes on grid using the mouse the entire DAW (Ableton Live 10.1.35) suddenly quits.

Mighty Piano Roll is a brilliant and powerful tool with plenty of bugs. Please, try to solve this ASAP.

Hi there,

1. You can hit rewind to go back to the start after clearing - clear doesn't really care what mode you are in. (Also, undo will work)
2. I am unable to repro the step size/note duration descrepancy you are seeing. A video would be cool.
3. In terms of a crash in Abelton 10.1.35, please make sure you have the very latest version of Voltage Modular. I assume you can drag notes in standalone mode. It may be helpful to provide a crash report and log files to our support.

This is one of the most intricate and involved modules we've done (GUI wise, at least)...so I expect there to be some issues. However, it is also good for other module devs to see what is possible and get inspired, as well.

Glad you like it.

For a lover of step music (Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Steve Roach....) as I am the Mighty Piano Roll is a dream come true. Mighty Piano Roll could be the most powerful tool to create intricate polyrithmic sequences in a modular environment. Bugs need to be solved and cv offset and internal quantiser would be a welcome addition.

Hi rfj, I have been trying to reproduce the issue you mentioned in Ableton 10, but cannot seem to get it to happen.
I have set note duration and step length both to 1/16 and entered notes via my controller in step mode. They come out as expected.

This is on a Windows 10 machine. Are you on a Mac?
Can you show a video of the reproduction so we can try to follow along?

I'm seeing similar issues here. When patching from the trig CV source in the top panel of VM to the forward step CV jack on MPR, the play-head jumps forward double the value in the 'step length' i.e. at 1/16 it moves forward at 1/8, etc. However, if I patch from the gate CV source into Andrew Macaulay's 'Gate to trigger' module and then into the MPR it works correctly. Hope that makes sense :)
In addition to that, I can't select the 1/16T option in the 'step length' drop-down.

In regards to the crash you mentioned, we were able to reproduce this and fix it. The next time you run Voltage Modular, it will download the update.

Hi,
I've got same problem as the theme starter.
When adding with mouse 1/4 notes in 4/4 meter it is not possible to place notes on 2nd or 4th beat. The notes appear on 1st or 3rd beat always.

I'm working on PC, Windows 10, VM as standalone

Either zoom in or click the button on the top left to change the snap settings. Alternatively, hold the Shift key down while moving a note. This is also described in the manual.

I did not realise that button. It's working as in DAW.
Many thanks for that hint.

Just to update on the first issue reported here. I have two separate hardware midi inputs coming from the same device, which was causing the problems I referred to. Deselecting one of them in the options fixes it, so that's Ok :)
However, I'm still seeing the problem with being unable to select the 1/16T options in both the drop-downs.
