Slope group modifiers only work when gate high with a jack inserted

[VCOADSR]

Hi Brian,

I've finally found the time to get back into the Er102 and wanted to exploit the slope modifiers alongside the high modifiers that I'm pretty comfortable with now.

What I found this afternoon is that if I have a jack plugged into the gate of 'Mod Z' (that receives a gate every other bar to apply a transform) and I then set up a slope modifier on the same 'Mod Z' via the CV in then the slope modifier only is applied when the gate is high. If I remove the jack then the slope modifier works constantly - however for me needs this limits the use of the slope completely.

Is it possible to have these independent from each other so that I can be applying a varying CV in slope modifier permanently and then having the gate modifier as and when the gate goes high? I.e. The slope ignores that there's an incoming signal on the gate input?

Let me know if you need to explain further.

Thanks

Phil

Looking into this now.

New firmware (v2.12) with a new CONFIG.INI setting is now available:

http://www.orthogonaldevices.com/er-102/release-notes

The new setting is located in the [Groups] section:

[Groups]

; Should the mod CV be gated by its associated mod GATE?
;
; true | false
gate-mod-cv = true

The default value is true and for the behavior that you want (complete independence of mod CV and mod GATE), you should set it to false.  

FYI, one of the benefits of being able to gate the mod CV with an external gate is that you can control what part of a step a mod CV effect should be applied.

Excellent Brian!! Many thanks appreciate the update.

Yeah, understand the benefit but I'm going to be sending tempo synced LFOs and gates for duration modifiers so having them independent gives more flexibility :-)

Thanks again!
