Hi All
Was playing around tonight with the Silver Octopus Romantic Organ 1 and had reversed the Gt and Pedal MIDI channels. I was trying to isolate why there is a very loud release on several pedal notes - i.e. are the pedal reed switches giving a contact during the pedal release.
MIDI-OX says no, there are no repeat contacts and I get the same effect if I play the pedal bass on the manual keys [this is not limited only to HWRO1 by the way] and THEN I noticed something really weird:
If I strike the same key over and over e.g. at crotchet/quarter-note rate at Andante, the pipe volume is not the same each time - it becomes successively softer and then louder again with each instance of speaking.
Does anyone else experience this? Try it on St Anne's on Open No 1 on Bb 1 for instance but any stop would do.
I repeat: MIDI-OX doesn't tell me anything is wrong [I can copy sample output if required in case I missed something] but this has got me stumped.
My Johannus midi is merged through a MIDIBoutique HWce so I have expression but none of the key contacts is wired through this.
I'd quite like to eliminate other problems before I start wiring up HWce since I'm going to replace the keyboards/build a new console soon anyway
Hoping someone can give me a clue on this...
Best wishes//Neil
