Hi, Trying to get my head around this.

How do you use the neighbor tracks feature on OSC 2? I’m trying to route the output of track one into track 2. I select nei on osc 2o of track 2? I that right?

I made a tutorial on neighbour tracks a while ago. Might be of help…

thanks SB-SIX that helped. I have successfully routed the audio, but when I use the on board keyboard the pitch of track 1’s oscillators are not following the keyboard and are locked to a fixed pitch, for some reason? I can use my midi controller on Track 1 and Track 2 (to trigger its env, i presume) and that works. I have the volume on the oscillator of track 2 off to use it’s filters only.

Did you solve the problem with pitch of the track 1? Have you tried to solve this bug with support ? Really a weird behavior…

What’s the bug or weird behaviour exactly ? If you play track 2 with a differing midi channel, why would trk 1 track trk 2 , set them both to the same midi channel, unless i don’t understand the issue that is !

I would use Poly Cfg for T1 and T2 with Use Trk Sounds checked.
this way, being on T1 or T2 will trigger both with key tracking.

I have a question too anyway…
I have noticed that Neighbor can be used on T1 osc2 too…that would not make any sense…but it does to my ears…I mean:
the sound, if activated instead of not, is kinda more rich…

Any of you experienced this?
I remember a thread discussing about this…

Yeah, that’s a simpler way to sort it, must try the neighbour on 1, it shouldn’t but the ears don’t lie, curious ! Maybe poly throws the logic a bit …

8

no I am speaking about bare trial…I haven’t Poly activated…Am I remember correctly? Gonna check back to be sure…reports here =)

Well, on testing it seems this is not playing nice, the poly side didn’t do what i expected and more surprisingly to me using the same midi channel didn’t either, i was sure that would work, obviously it will with an external keyboard or if you copy trigs between tracks, not sure if my mind is playing tricks or this is how it’s always been !

Just a recap after some more conscious testing last night:

to the OP:

the method I described using the minikeys works if you activate UNISON (forgot to mention this…sorry) and USE TRK SOUNDS for the 2 tracks you need.

I suggest you to put triggers on T2 (the one with Neibor).

This way you can decide to have both T1 and T2 with volume up or only one of the 2…of course T2 should have “priority” since Neib.

There are different scenarios…while testing I used arpeggiator on T2. While T1 was trigs muted (not the Trk Level!)
Opening trigs on T1 would stop momentarly the arp/trigs on T2…giving some variations to the arp sequence…
But it’s up to you how to let the synth to behave.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Regarding the Neib on T1’s osc2.
It indeed gives more beef to the sound, please, try this:

• zero level for OSC1
• some volume for OSC2 set to be grounded (no sound)
• select a Sub osc
• now select “N” for neiboring (it is one step on the left from “grounded”)

The sound is beefier…isn’t it?
All this doesn’t need any Poly config or else…just a simple Sub osc2.

Please, let me know if this happens to you too…
Bless
