Hello everyone, I’m currently working on a Max MSP patch to turn the Digitakt into a polyphonic synth, and I’m almost there! Each new incoming note is sent to the next available channel and I can play up to 8 notes at a time. The problem is that I will get hanging notes very often when playing chords quickly. I ran a lot of test and I’m pretty sure that the patch is sending the correct Note Off informations, the problem seems to be on the Digitakt side. It looks like it “chokes” when it gets too much data at once and a note will hang, even if I resend Note Off messages. It will only stop when the track receive a new note or if I double-tap the Stop button.
Does anyone has experience with this? Does this happen with the RK-002 cable? Any idea on how to send a “All Notes Off” message to the Digitakt? (a CC120 message is like double-tapping the STOP button so it stops the note but also cuts the audio very abruptly which is pretty ugly) Maybe the way I’m sending MIDI from Max isn’t the most efficient way, I’m not super good at this stuff…
Anyway, any info would be greatly appreciated<3
(And yeah I know there are a lot of working solution for this but my 10-years old computer won’t let me use Max For Live and I wanted to try the polyphonic stuff before spending money on a Retrokit smart cable. Also I love getting back into Max MSP once in a while!)
