I have this problem! Did you ever solve it?

Such high hopes for a momentary option on the latch page! It’s such a beautiful implementation of the grid of stored voltages. I used to love using my left hand to ‘fret’ notes and my right to gate, bow and modulate using PP. I love the updates on V2 but surely this can be reinstated in an update!

Definitely would be cool to have an option for this, similar to new options on morphagene for example

Do we have a fellow on speaking terms with Make Noise who might be able to push this through?

#177

perhaps our good friend @walker is watching :grin:

I can’t remember where I saw it but I think they have stated a few times that the new touchplate technology cannot register sustained touch so it would not be possible on the Rene 2 hardware with any firmware update, it can only toggle on/off

That’s a damn shame. I’d love to see where you read that. Now to squeeze in an original next to the successor

When you latch two channels at the same time it releases latching on previous channel when you hold fingers on second latch page. So somehow it can be used to detect sustained touch.
Software for Rene 2 seems really strange to me, especially the 9 seconds locking save. Shame it’s not open source since hardware is most beautiful.

Yes it is a hardware limitation. It can register extended touch, but not for very long (it times out). In the end momentary touch works great for a single-channel device but on this René you need to be able to latch across channels, so toggling makes more sense.

Thank you for pointing this out Walker. It’s a pity that it won’t be possible but glad I know I can stop waiting for a firmware update and embrace the potential of both Rene1 and Rene2.

Indeed, thanks for the final word Walker. The old and the new look rather indulgent next to each other on MG, but I expect the reality of the pair to be beautiful.

When I tune my oscillators with a H9 built in tuner to C and then plug in v/Oct from René the tuner goes +25 higher. Am I doing something wrong or there is something with my René?

#186

Which oscillators?
My Mangrove does this (it’s a small flow by design), Dixie seems to stay in tune, now i just plug v/oct from RenĂ© (or any sequencer I plan to use) before tuning them and everything is smooth :slight_smile:

Verbos HO, plaits and mangrove. They all seem to be in tune if I tune then with v/Oct from RenĂ© plugged in. I just didn’t think I needed that.

#188

If you tune first when you plug in the sequencer output it will add voltage and therefore raise the pitch.

#189

That’s really odd. Is that with the RenĂ© set to minimum pitch? I don’t notice my MN oscillators change at all if there’s no voltage in the input.

#190

Well oscillator pitch is not supposed to change when applying 0V but, when connecting, the voltage source might ‘load’ the v/8 input of the module. That’s more or less what’s happening with Mangrove (it’s better explained somewhere in the mangrove thread), that’s why I started to tune my oscillators like that.
I don’t have this problem with DPO or Dixie, so I concluded that it’s just module-specific, some oscillators might need little workarounds to be tuned correctly. (I checked with the frequency meter on ornament an crime, when connecting RenĂ© v/8 output (while at 0V) their pitch rise but just by a few (mili)cents, it’s not audible at all.)

#191

I don’t have anything to add but DPO/Dixie/Mangrove sounds like a perfect mix of oscillators!
