In “sequencer mode” and “external sync” whith my drum machine, a C4 note is played as soon as start the drum machine.
Not in "arp mode"
It’s annoying …
I think that the RX5 send a start message but my other synth don’t start if I dont play …
You have an idea for Shruti starts synchronized just when I play ?
It is very important for me that the sequencer starts on a start message, please don’t change this! 
I understand your problem, but if I had may things differently, don’t you think people would have complained that the sequencer of the Shruthi does not start when it receives a start message?
Yes i understand … customers are never satisfied
I can stop the note with damper pedal then Shruthi stays synchronized and I can trigger whith the right note. But the sequence start always whith the C4 note …
Wouldt be a Sequencer that doesnt start on a Startsequence more or less a Stopquencer?
It is normal that the sequencer starts when it receives a start message, but I do not understand why if I do not play anything on the keyboard the sequence selected is played on C4 note, it’s annoying in live : as soon as I start my drum machine the sequence is played on C4 …
Doesn’t work to send a note message right after the start message?
Why don’t you program your sequence in such way that it’s right when triggered from c4?
flip yes when i play the notes that I want it's ok, but when i release the key : C4 is back ..shiftr i don’ t understant sorry
@fcd72 i want to try a Stopquencer You have a link ?
My keyboard have a “panic” button ( “all note off” i presume) it’s work for killing the C4 note ( and all notes from the other synth ! ) , then, i can play sequence that i want synchronized whith the drum machine.
it is annoying when i play live and that i want start the drum machine after the Shruthi sequence.
It seemed to me yesterday I could use the sustain pedal to stop the sequence but I was wrong.
@lucchio
You could use a NoPass-Filter as a Stopsequencer… while the Circuit itself works a bit different, the Result is the same.
Edit: A thing most people dont know: you can use a NoPass Filters Input as a superprecise CV source for calibrating, it emits exactly 0,00000000000 ±0 V.
Nope it has no CV in/out/thru/whatsoever
Those RX models can output midi notes, are you sure that your RX-5 doesn’t send the offending C4 ?
I disabled the “note messages” from the RX.
It’s the same thing when Shruthi is synchronized whith another sequencer, Ableton for exemple : starting the Shruthi sequencer by a a start message also start C4 note.
As I said, I believe what the Shruthi currently does is the best behaviour (sequencer should immediately start upon receiving a “Start” message - rather than wait for the player to press a key).
For your own personal use, you can modify the firmware and remove this line then recompile the firmware.
Whow … It is certain that I will try this, thank you very much
And i also believe Shruthi currently does is the best behaviour and I think I’m the only one who is bothered by this : thanks again
This is an opportunity to try to modify the firmware, I have never done before
- edit - the wiki to do that
Good article on the wiki ! but … I have a little problem to find how to convert my new “shruthi.hex” in a “.mid” or “.syx” …
“make syx”
OMG !
I can :
- Setting up a development environment on my computer
- Change the right line in the right place in the Shruthi firmware
- Recompile the firmware, convert in syx file and updating the Shruthi firmware by MIDI
I’m the new Olivier Gillet I want to make my own synth
Everything seems to work perfectly, thanks again pichenette !
Congrats!
