Channel Pressure Behavior: Fixed in Custom Firmware – Page 5 – Roger Linn Design Forum

Teknico, I’ve looked at the MIDI data and did some detailed listening. I now _see_ what I’m hearing.

In the case that: pressure is mapped to cutoff, one note is held lightly, a subsequent note is played quickly/firmly there is still a “jump” in pressure data from the low pressure value to the high value. Depending on the synth, this causes occasionally audible artifacts.

I now consider this an unavoidable consequence of that playing style and the physics of touch pads vs keys. I doubt many (any) synthesizer designers planned on receiving instant pressure data changes of that magnitude (i.e. 3 to 127). You have already convinced me that my initial idea of adding more slew to pressure could introduce more problems, and again, the changes you made to the firmware and their results are much preferred and make playing non MPE synths a joy on the Linnstrument. Thank you!
