Hi all Voltage heads!

I just picked up Voltage modular and a few bundles
I'm a long time user of Reaktor Blocks and VSV Rack,
so I'm really blown away by the huge sound of Voltage and really
enjoying getting feet wet.

But since I picked up Voltage a week ago, I've been scratching my head about one thing I noticed straight off the bat:
patches using sequencers or other modules to create a
sequence are triggering very poorly in Ableton, in one kind of nasty way.

I've tried messing with the latency in Ableton 10 midi settings,
but that really has nothing to do with the problem. Its not that
its triggering slowly, but that after the first note in an Ableton
midi note clip any subsequent notes including the first note when played again
in the case of a looped Ableton clip triggers the sequence well enough, but then about a 32nd
note later, the sequence starts again and finishes out. So basically the first note
of any sequence stutters any time it is re-triggered.

Maybe there is something basic I have missed, also it seems that things are lined
up, so for example re-triggering the sequence in synch with the timing within Votage modular
does not solve the problem.

Anyone had this problem and solved it? Or any other have any ideas. I am going to ask Ableton as well
they used to be very repsonsive, Cherry Audio help desk seem to have been abandonded no response after
5 days.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

I'm surprised and sorry to hear that you've not heard back from CA support. Apart from at Christmas and the New Year they usually have someone on call every day of the week. Did you get an automatic confirmation email? In my experience someone has always responded within 36 hours, so your email may have gone astray.

On the specifics of your issue perhaps you could post more detail so that other forum members might be able to reproduce the problem. It sounds like you are trying to sync MIDI output from Ableton with sequencers running in VM but it's not clear exactly what you are doing. If you post a screenshot or a project file that might help. I use VM almost exclusively standalone but I'm sure there are other people here with experience of running VM in Ableton who should be able to help.
