Subject: Atomahawk V2 Aggressive Resonance issue...

From: bperkins211@...

well I got the V2 Atomahawk installed last night... yay!

All seems to work ok.  The FM, Filter db selection, etc..
ALL THE CONTROLS respond to my GUI system.
Each control makes the HAWK's LED display show that parameter change.

But there's a problem..

When I choose "Aggressive Resonance", it wont latch in.

In other words, If I am currently playing a note and activate Aggr. Res, I will most definitely hear it howl/screech, etc.. all the signs of major feedback happening.
BUT, if I let go of the key and re-trigger the sounds/filter..  The Aggr. Res. will cease to function.
I check the parameter and it is most definitely still set to Aggr. Res.
It sounds like it is off.

So I go in and shut it off, hold a note down, hit it ON again and I again hear it howl AS LONG AS I HOLD THE NOTE DOWN..  but again, if I let go of the note/key and retrigger with a new note.. it stops working.


I can make a vid later on if it helps..  right now I'm in the midst of getting things finished up with the GUI.
I spent probably 4-5 hrs last night putting the Atomahawk in.   I was very careful, I triple and quadruple checked each step in the install as I went.  I am 100% certain all parts are where they should be and all wires as well.  I can and had planned on providing pics of the installed V2 board later on.
