Strange behaviour FG. Help !

27 Jul 2011, 15:16

I have Motif XS working as a master (MIDI Sync=internal, Clock Out=On) and Fantom G working as a slave (Sync Mode=SLAVE-MIDI, Clock Source=MIDI). Everything work fine but some patches of FG are slightly interrupted (a kind of pulsating) when keys ars pressed and held.
I had checked each parameter and turned out that tempo delay effects used in PFX are the reason.
For example patch no 1535 Angelis Pad. When Fantom G is set to master the patche sounds good but when I change to slave it's interrupted. This single patch uses PFX 3Tap Pan Delay. I figured out that if Delay parameter is set to notes the patch sounds bad but if I change to msec then is OK.
Tempo delay effects seem to not properly work with external midi clock.

ANY HELP APPRECIATED. Mayby my FG is broken ???

Here's a possibility. I too use a G7 and an XS6 to play live. I play the G7 (73 keys) and midi the XS6 into the G7 to import the XS6 sounds.

The G7 has the ability to continually play a sound while the player is changing sounds. Therefore there is no interruption of sound. When I play a string sound, I keep my hand playing the string sound, and use a pedal to change to the horn sound. The string sound continues until I strike the first horn sound that is needed.

Where I reverse the process, and use the XS as the master, the sound is stopped while I change sounds. I believe that this is a function of the OS of the XS. The OS of the Roland keeps the initial sound going until the second sound is engaged.
