What happened?

If I remember right, portamento mode use to work ok, as well as the monophonic keys in earlier versions than 2.65


did something change?  I cant get the glide or keys to function anything useful in that mode at all anymore...

Thanks Mike.
Seems to be working like it used to now after the reflash.
The glide rate seems a little slow though.  I thought it use to have a wider range.  Now it seems to go medium speed to very slow to crazy slow, a quick glide doesn't seem to happen.

It won't let you begin to glide one direction, then go back the other direction mid slide when you hit a different key?
Say start high, hit a low note and it begins to glide down.. Then hit a high note again and it stays playing but goes back up again.

I guess the mono mode never did let you play "trills".
Where you hold one note down, then hit another note while holding the first.
The new note takes over and plays, but if you let it go, it will restart the previous key still held down.
Let's you sound like a pro very easily.

what is the 2.65 if I can ask , I came following too late
a new version software revision for the ex?

There
are still some kinks to work out with the portamento
code.
One
of the main problems with the old code was that if you
released the first (lead) note before playing the next
(destination note), there would not be any portamento slide
at all. So I fixed that particular problem. Now, you should
be able to do trills easier than before.
However,
I also tried to redesign the code so that the slide time
would be roughly the same no matter how distant the two
keys. And it kind of works, there are some problems though.
The main issue is written up in the release notes.
So, although I've managed to put in
the time to improve the timing and the note on/off behavior,
I am going to have to wait a week or more before I can spend
the time to iron out the kinks. And if people would prefer
the original set up as it was then perhaps I can just revert
back.

Trust me.. I know ALL about those "kinks".

Last week I managed to figure out a Monophonic Mode and Portamento for my ongoing Seenthysizer project.. the Teensy 3.5 board/chip.

I made a video of the key action I was trying to explain where it "trills" a note back and forth.

https://youtu.be/WEmxM_Wb44o


I also just began to figure out how to get a Pitch LFO modulation to work.
I intend to make the Portamento mode even more interesting later on when I phase the timing for each of the seven voices...  so they all begin to glide a few milliseconds apart to fatten up the sound.

/Blaine

It is the latest version of firmware for the Hawk board.
A modification board/kit you install inside a Poly or EX 800.

I will have to try that method of portamento out.
Shouldn't be too difficult to brew up...

thanks ! cool stuff
anybody here good at the mc68000 ?
