Congrats, lots of sonic fun to be had!

Sorry for the delay. It looks like you hit the nail on the head, rsaintjohn. So long as the lower part's MIDI channel is higher than or equal to the upper part, the joystick sends pitch bend and mod data to the external synth. I'll send a bug report to Roland as well. Now back to the Hints & Tips!

I just wanted to shout out to user analoguesque for creating some beautiful side panels for my System-8. The synth looks classy now! Thanks.

Thanks for looking into this further @rsaintjohn, and reaching out to support. I was planning on doing that myself. Glad to see it confirmed as a bug. I'll do a test setup on my end with the Slim Phatty tomorrow and will report back with my findings!

Thanks rsaintjohn, that was a helpful explanation. It's working out just fine minus the bend/mod Tx. The Rx settings are all set to On inside of the Part options, but they're Rx settings not Tx.

"Single Performance Mode" - This is one of those things I saw in the Reference Manual and the Performance menu, but never dug into. Wasn't really sure how I would use it, until tonight..... But if you change it to Single, that gives the currently active Part its 8 voices back. So, what's ...

Hi Clan, I wanted to provide an update. I've been in touch with Roland support who are sending the bug to the dev team in Japan. This is not an Octatrack specific bug rather the System 8 is not reading Note On Velocity 0 messages properly, which should be interpreted as Note Off. This behavior shoul...

I ran the data through MIDI monitor and attached a photo of the output. The difference in MIDI Note formatting is a 91 for both the ON and OFF messages on the Octatrack sequencer, in other words the Octatrack sends a Note On message with a value of 0 to designate Note Off (As far as I understand), w...

The setup was initially running through an iConnectMIDI4+ but for the sake of testing, I've done a straight connection from the Octa->Sys-8. As per your suggestion I changed MIDI channels, same behavior. Even without any bi-directional talk between the two systems (only Octa MIDI OUT -> Sys-8 MIDI I...

Hi Roland Clan, I've been setting up my System-8 (ver 1.12) to be controlled by an Octatrack. I've run into a strange bug which I can only replicate in the Jupiter-8 & Juno-106 Plug-Outs (This doesn't happen when using the System-8 Engine). When a Plug-Out patch is set to Mono and a note is sent...
