BUG?? Chaining Combinators with Thor

[philosurfer]

I am stuck...


Configuration:
- Combinator 1
-- Thor 1
--- using sequencer
--- mapping seq.gate -> cv1 out
--- mapping seq.note -> cv2 out
---- notes being sent from seq are in the C3-C4 range
- Combinator 2
-- receiving Thor1.cv1.out -> gate
-- receiving Thor1.cv2.out -> note
-- 4 other instruments in this combinator


Problem:

When receiving notes from Thor.1.cv2 (note) , they are being received 5 scales lower on the Comb.2 then what is being played on Thor1.seq


In an attempt to see if this was the Thor1.seq being the problem... i changed the Thor.1.programmer send the notes from the played midi instead of sequencer to the Thor1.cv2.out ... The still problem persists... thinking this might be a bug in Thor?

Using the latest v.8.3d92 build.

Screencast of the problem in action. http://www.screencast.com/t/cLaoqGR2Fza

Is this a bug? or am I doing something dumb?

Thanks in advance.

There are dedicated CV outs for the sequencer in Thor, so you don't need to use the Mod Matrix routing to achieve this. Should solve your issue if I'm understanding you correctly.

For whatever reasons, the Seq.note out sends a "zero" when the note knob is in the center position, with negative numbers below that and positive above. In other words, it's a bi-polar "offset" rather than an absolute note value. I'm guessing this is so you can use this value internally on an oscillator that has it's key tracking turned off, since under those circumstances it makes total sense.

Worked perfectly.. .don't know why I missed this.
I really need to quit smoking dope.

This actually makes a lots of sense now that you put it that way. Just a little deceiving from the Seq.note display.. you expect that note to be sent... they should add a note next to the CV out explaining this somehow...
