Roli: Equator 2 is here !

[Noumena]

I've somewhat narrowed down this issue of notes cutting off in Bitwig. It only happens when the project is playing, and the notes cut off at the start of the next bar, which is why they seemed to be cutting off at different times when I was playing. And why I could write in a note that was longer than a bar and it would not sustain the whole clip.

I've been checking the settings to find if there is anything that could be causing this but it happens with the new init patch as well as patches so I think it must be a bug.

Can any other Bitwig users in Windows confirm this?

Yup! With transport on any sustained note will die in a couple bars's time. Win10, BW 3.3, Seaboard RISE.

EDIT: this doesn't happen w the default sound. I can get it to always happen with concert violin and a couple of other patches, but not with a "new" sound. I wasn't seeing it before because I was only playing the patches I've been cooking up, starting w/ default. So I don't think it is global.

Guys, is SLIDE working for you in absolute mode? I have absolute set in Roli Dashboard for Seaboard Block and regardless where I play the note on the surface it always starts from the middle in square graph (so it acts like a relative mode). I checked this with Wavetable in Live11 Beta and it works fine there. Looks like a bug. Anybody can confirm? Himalaya?

Ok. Nevermind. I've already found that Equator has this set independently in global settings. All works fine now.

Great that you've found it.
BTW, Equator2 currently doesn't have any 'absolute slide' presets. We hope to rectify it at one point. I'm saying this as in Equator1, we had some lovely examples (available as a 'playlist' download).

hmmm, happens with a "new" sound, and I saved that as my default. Don't remember what the default sound was. For me, notes always cut out at the return to the first beat. So if I play a note at beat 1 in 4/4 it will last 4 beats and then cut. If I play a note after beat 3 it will last under 1 beat when that bar finishes and returns to 1.

I can't imagine this would a useful setting under any scenario so I doubt it's a non-global setting, but maybe a bug associated with only some settings?

It is 1-3 bars later for me, only some notes and only some patches. I’ve been playing with the unit sound (starts as just a saw wave) for the last hour w transport on and it isn’t cutting off. Weird. Must be a bug. Will you submit? I’m happy to help with anything you need from my system: win10 i7 8 core, 32GB, BW 3.3, latest release of equator.

It is definitely all patches for me. Sometimes you can't tell that it shuts off abruptly because there is reverb or delay or maybe the release time matters, but they all cut off. I wonder fi this happens in other hosts. I'm sure testers would have noticed. I'll report.

Now I see that Equator2 has updated to 2.0.2. Is there any changelog or release notes anywhere?

Nowhere to find. I also am curious what has been fixed or changed.

[highstandards]

Still no midi mapping in 2.0.2. Surprising for a new synth.

[Echoes in the Attic]

Updated. Still can't sustain it when transport playing.

I was wondering why for this preset it says it is missing an instrument. It can't find it, though I installed Equator2 the standard way on my C: drive. I haven't checked all of the presets, but it might happen with others too.
I opened Roli Connect like it suggests but didn't see anything there to load up or resolve it. I am using v2.0.2.

Have you installed the Equator1 legacy content? This sample is using the 'Choir Ahh' sample from Equator1.

Thanks.
Any quick way to find the new patches? (I tried searching for 2.0.2)
