External MIDI doesn't trigger Timers

Here's one I found today:

External MIDI controllers don't seem to trigger Timer modules. The internal "PC Keyboard" DOES trigger Timer modules. External MIDI controlers do trigger OTHER modules (though obviously I haven't tested all of them). When you change the duration after a trigger should have been sent, the Timer modules DO start. Something tells me there's something wrong with the Start input of the Timer module 🙂

Check the attached OSM.

Things to see: * Try the MIDI keyboard and see how all counters react. * Try an external MIDI device and see how only the directly connected counters react. * Now set one of the durations to some other value and see how the Timer and counter suddenly spring to live.

Hi,

have a look here: Using timers with MIDI

and here: MIDI compatible timer

Thanks for the tips!

I still think this should be labelled as a "bug" though, if only because behaviour is inconsistant in several ways.

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
