MDRummer trigger problems

[Svama]

Hi,

mdrummer doesn´t always react on the first trigger note of a beat for triggering a rhythm.
Another problem the ryhthm only starts, if the trigger note is coming and I´m not starting my playback in the middle of a trigger note.

Thanks and greets,
Marek

The problem is mdrummer plays always the whole rhythm before it changes to next triggered rhythm. How can I avoid that?

[Svama]

If I start not at the beginning of a trigger note it just plays one single drum hit.

Problem found, buffer size too high

I have the same trigger thing, first note/step often not played when triggering with midikeyboard
Buffersize in DAW? What is your new buffer size?

[Svama]

256 Maximum, prefer 128 for mdrummer

thx!

Hmmm, that's odd, buffer sizes shouldn't matter unless the DAW messes up timing. Anyways make sure you are using the newest version. Recently there have been a few "hacks" for the "bad" DAWs.

[Rhythm Editor> Additional> Advanced> Perfect Sync] solves some of these problems.
Another thing is that even when you snap a MIDI note to grid it might not be exactly on grid because a MIDI note uses ticks measured from the start of a MIDI item/clip as its grid. In REAPER you can see this anomaly when zoomed in. In some DAWs an alignment adjustment is made such that you can't see the offset even though it does exist. To avoid it, always define a midi item snapped to grid before writing any notes into it. Snapping an already existing item's edge to grid won't help because the tick positions are locked to the initial creation. (Although, in REAPER at least, you can 'glue' an already existing MIDI item to align the ticks to DAW grid.)
Another DAW setting worth testing is 'chasing' MIDI notes.
