Korg NTS-1 Midi issues and question

[wallacemarino]

I'm a little late to the party here, but I just bought a Korg Nutekt NTS-1 digital synth and overall I love it, but in the short time I've been tinkering with it I've come upon a couple of issues.

Firstly midi implementation. I'm using a slightly long in the tooth, but still very functional Roland Edirol PCR-300 midi keyboard to control the synth. It works fine from a playback perspective, but when I assign CC functions to it's controllers I'm coming across a problem. Some CC assignments work perfectly fine, such as Attack, delay mix & reverb mix. Whereas others such as Release, tremolo/LFO depth and rate only work correctly when they are being adjusted, but reset to zero as soon they are released, making them effectively useless. I'm pretty confident the issue doesn't lie with the PCR as it works 100% with other hardware/soft synths and I get the same results regardless of which control is assigned each CC, but this clearly isn't right and I can't figure out what the issue is. Has anybody come across this and offer a solution?

My other question relates to the arpeggiator. When plugged into another device that is sending midi clock is there a way to get the arpeggiator to operate in divisions longer than 16ths? (Other than halving/quartering etc the master tempo)

I'd appreciate any thoughts you have on these issues, or any other tips and tricks for getting the most out of this awesome little device. Thanks
