locations in the REGELWERK and produce
bizarre data in the Presets. Preset 1, the
default start-up preset, is particularly prone to
this, and problems will naturally follow. This
is loaded automatically at the start, and if it's
been corrupted, will send spurious
information and quite probably crash the
REGELWERK .
−
If a problem is suspected, it's advisable to
check and correct corrupted data BEFORE
starting a sequence. Running a sequence
with corrupted or bizarre parameters is
asking for trouble!
−
In this case, if the REGELWERK crashes, a
hard reset (initialisation) may well be the only
answer. !!! First save the uncorrupted
presets via a SysEx dump.
11.4 Changes made to a pattern
are not stored in memory
•
Perhaps you've forgotten that REGELWERK
has to be explicitly told to store pattern data
along with the other data in a preset.
11.5 Problems editing
parameters within menus
•
Editing parameters with the alpha dial and
buttons is slow and laborious.
−
While editing values with the sequencer
running, it's possible that the editing process
can become a little sporadic and slow to
respond, because the internal processor
gives priority to the sequence, and only deals
with editing functions when there is
processing power available. This is going to
be particularly noticeable with very fast or
complex sequences.
•
The Step LEDs (showing the sequence
running) aren't responding 100% accurately,
or as expected; for instance, interference
patterns may sometimes occur.
−
This is again caused by deliberate software
design policy, which gives indicators and
displays a lower priority than the processing
of 'higher level' events, such as real-time
control: MIDI data output, reception and
transmission, sequencer tempo, and anything
that is crucial to the tightness and accuracy of
the musical output.
11.6 Individual buttons have
slightly different responses
•
Due to the large quantity of buttons used in
the REGELWERK , and the variability of mass
production, it's possible that different buttons
will have slightly different response
characteristics. This will be particularly
noticeable if two buttons that are next to each
other behave differently.
−
We hope you'll agree that it's not a serious
problem, as long as the difference is only
slight, and that it's the right decision to use
these reasonably-priced buttons considering
the large cost implications of any alternative.
