Recently downloaded this, I love it! I've run into an issue with MIDI though - when I release a note after having triggered a new one, the sound will cut as if the 'note off' has been sent by the new note that was triggered. Interestingly this only happens with my MIDI keyboard. With keyboard emulation using my computer keyboard, this problem doesn't exist. I'd really appreciate some help, thanks!

mac, pc, linux?

Be aware that you are actually dealing with 16 mono voices. so you will get clipping of sounds.

To use multiple sound = polyphony, you need to

1.  pick and sound and get it right (PAGE 7)

2. use PAGE 3 VOICE to allocate the voice to multiple channels

3. Use PAGE 3 KEYBOARD to remap midi inputs

:)

Thanks for the quick response! I'm on PC. Enabling polyphony does alleviate the problem, however this bug is making it hard to play mono voices. Let's say I just wanted to play a C then a D. I'll usually release C a few milliseconds after keying D, resulting in the note being cut off even though I'm still holding the D key down, resulting in a blip of sound. I have to make sure either the C key is fully released before pressing D, or hold down C for as long as I want the D to sound. Here's a video that will hopefully clarify. Thanks again! https://imgur.com/VnZ4FOu

PAGE 2 is just for previewing sounds from disk - it uses a slightly different sound setup. does the issue occur when you are NOT on PAGE 2?

Sorry, I was on Page 2 for brevity's sake. Yes, it occurs when the sound is loaded into a voice and played from Page R or anywhere else.

no problem I'll go into the code and see what can be done for you :)

Thanks so much! I've already spent hours and hours tinkering around - the crossroads of music and retrocomputing is so addictive and inspiring to me!

I'd like to offer up a UI/QOL suggestion - clicking on values and dragging to adjust them, eg up for an increase and down for a decrease. Sort of like an invisible knob/fader for selecting a value. An example of this is the tempo and pattern selector in FL Studio. I think this would be another great alternative entry method alongside the scroll wheel and typing values in, especially on Page 7!

Agreed, but unfortunately the issue is to do with people using QB with touchscreens. They don't quite work that way with capacitance. It also breaks the general Fairlight design. The mouse wheel was an easy thing to add.

But an excellent suggestion I can look into for you ;)
