TI - Knob response problem - could someone compare with me.

[Numina]

I have a problem with all my knobs not responding per the knob response edit settings in my TI Keyboard. I prefer "snap" but the "snap" function works for about 1 or 2 programs at a time after setting it, then it doesn't work again unless I go into the config menu and exit without changing anything (since it's already on snap I don't need to change it) then it works again for 1 or 2 patches, etc. BUT, even then it still doesn't quite work properly because on the rare occassion that the "snap" does seem to work, the preset program values are goofy. For instance, I notice that the soft knob settings for nearly ALL of my programs have a preset value of [127] (which my understanding means that the preset patch is currently saved at a value of [127] for whatever effect is assigned to the respective soft knob) so when I rotate the knob all the way clockwise to value [127] and then start to rotate toward [0] the effect jumps to an extreme change in the sound... in other words, the actual preset soft knob setting is actually [0] and not [127].

My understanding of snap is that when the knob passes through the preset saved value then the movement of the knob takes affect. My problem is that not only does the "snap" not work most of the time, that when it does, most of the preset programs show an incorrect preset value.

To get around this I essentially have to rotate each and every knob I plan to use so that the value doesn't jump, which if I want to have each knob set to sound like the original program sound then I have to rotate each one of thos knobs to the original preset value. This is an incredible amount of time to simply play a single program with live knob movements! Not acceptable. I'd waste half my day just manually resetting each program I want to play. I loaded OS1.09, then tried OS1.08 same thing. OS1.09 is now loaded back in my system.

So, if some of you could do the following and just report your experience here, that would help me out:

1. rotate all three of your soft knobs to [64] (or about midway)

2. in config, set your knob response to "snap"

3. go to program "RAM-A 15 SlowSilkMS"

4. play and start to rotate soft knob #3 (the far right knob) - What does the preset prgram setting show? is it [0] or [127]? Please state this in your reply.

5. If it's [127], rotate your knob all the way to [127] and it should snap to that setting and now start rotating the knob back toward [0]. Does the sound of the width suddenly 'jump' to a value of 127 as you just begin to rotate the knob?

Please report this. If your TI does the same thing as mine I'll worry a lot less and will help me out a lot in determining what I need to do (like exchange the synth). I e-mailed and got a reply from Access and they don't know what is wrong at the moment.

Also, note that this problem is not unique to this program. it's like this with almost ALL my programs.

Thank you,
