I have problem with DiscoDSP Corona if I recording midi notes or audio in Ableton.
If I set midi fix 127 in corona, arp with 2 octaves and play 2 notes in the same time with midi keyboard everything works fine, if I turn on Record button weird stuff started to happen, some triggering and no octaves, sound is different. I send message to DiscoDSP support few days ago but no answer yet. I don't know if They answer me.

 

I was similar problem with FM8 in the past. Other sound if I played on keyboard and other If I record it.

 

...DiscoDSP is the one of worst developers ever, he charges for your bought software, just to download it ...let me be clear: if you buy a VST, you have right at one year download, then you must pay 29$ yearly to get your software, and yes, you pay for upgrades also ...so unless you save to a disk or something, or you simply loose it, you are done ...

i am sure this is a shady way to make money, i had a fired talkk with him on this, he told me he must pay for its servers and shit, but if you do the math 29$ from every coustomer is alot of money, then he somehow thought he is better give me some 2 years access for free because i had a big mouth, id say fuck him!

 

Ouch. Rude of them. So They are a opposite of Imaginando. Imaginando have a great support and customer approach. Instant response to almost any question. Deserve more donations in that case. Korg and Akai don't have too much good support either. I send message to main Korg support and USA answer was something like You're outside of USA Fuck You then go to your country provider. I can't contact to provider in my country so I contact with other countries and They don't answer. Netherlands is one and only one country which response quick and properly
Akai support in 2018 answered to my question after 3 weeks with message Look at this vid with link to some guy Youtube video which even don't work for Akai. If this random guy don't make this video I don't know how They answer me
So this is poor but it may be because they have a lot of messages from people. But DiscoDSP?!
They should be ashamed. They do anti-advertising themselves

 

You may want to clarify a bit more the topic's title...

 

the Topic tho.... Hahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

Isolate the midi notes, wear a mask while editing, and stay away from older DAWS.

Thank you
Drive around

 

Ok. Title is changed

 

BTW, I love your avatar. Got to try the whammy part.. or not

 

I contacted with DiscoDSP via KVR and here is the answer:
"Thanks for the reply. It's probably a bug in the arp, sorry. I will add the issue to the pending bugfixes list."

 

???

 

I wonder if this thread will go viral.

 

Could it be that when setting REC on, the notes from the arp are sent back into the vsti as incoming pressed keys? Kinda like a loopback?
That could put things quickly into berzerk mode for the arpegiator....
Is the channel IN of the vsti set to ALL? Maybe try to set the channel IN of the vsti to your keyboard only.
Anyways, sounds like a channel IN/OUT problem since it only happens when you go into REC mode. Never used this vsti, but it could be there's a setting in there where you can have the ARP send its output to specific channel(s) and it ends up looping back? who knows....

 

This is a copy of message from me and from Akai support which I found on my e-mail.
Exactly it was early 2019 and I was waiting for the answer 5 weeks.

Hi. I have problems with mpd all the time from first day in ableton live.
I have Double/Multi/Extra Unwanted Triggers MIDI Notes. In mpk mini in ableton live midi icon
light only when i touch pad, lights off, and again on when i release pad.
In MPD218 when i touch pad midi icon flashes all the time.
How to fix this? I have other problems, when i touched two or three pads,
sometimes other pads turns on for the moment.
Other problem is when i softly touch pads, they flashing and multi triggering.
Other problem is when i touched pads fast. They have double or multi triggering midi,
two or three sample playing instead of one. In mpk mini this problems not appears.

Please help.

And i have question. Do You have some usb midi controller with only pads
constructed like in mpk mini, hard, short, without extra triggering after soft touch?
I don't like MPD218. I like pads in MPK mini.

Cheers
