Grid noises and clicks

[uge]

Hello there,

I'm trying to make some sequences on the grid, but i get a click on the change of a section.

I'm using two racks, not too complex, but not sure why I get this noises.

Is anything that can I do?

Thanks in advance,

Greetings,

I find the stutter between sections a problem as well, hopefully we can get it fixed.
Are you using VST in your racks? Generally internal patches like grain sampler is good, but heavier VST I find more problems.

you can also try different buffer size in the setup/audio tab when you encounter clicks

Thanks for reply.

Yep, I'm using two VSTi's with no luck.

I will try with different buffer size and will keep you posted.

Thanks again!

The grid right now is in terrible condition. Really.
In my book it is by far the weakest part of the whole software.
Also the part with the most obvious bugs.

It is likely that you will get a *lot* of problems when recalling presets, transitions between sections,
clicks, timing odness, synchro problems, dropped notes and so on and so forth.

You have to be prepared for that and have a "plan b" when stuff like this happens...
And it *will* happen... Often...

And dont try to move sections around when you have more than three or four lines active...
Believe me, don't... The grid will create a mess and you'll pull your hair out. I know I did...

Best,
tL.

Ah, by the way:

I just tried to drive the Grid Sections via Midi Learn.
I used the Numerology AU plugin for this, because it can also output to the IAC Bus at the same time
and is synced to Usine, because plugin, duh.
(Also I have the Numerology Playlist assigned to Bar Quantization...For those of you who know N4)

I enabled the OSX IAC Bus in Usines Device list as Midi Input and assigned several Midi Messages to all the different sections.
Grid Section Quantize is disabled, I let Numerology quantize the Midi messages to bar *itself*.

Now guess what... the Grid driven by a 3rd party plugin that sends Midi back via the OSX IAC Midi Bus has *no* problems,
no clicks, no issues... just smooth as butter... What?

On the other hand: Before I had the Numerology Idea I tried to drive the Grid sections via an array list number through the racks,
tried Mapped Values, tried modulating the Section Numbers manually via stepped automation, with Grid Quantize on, off, tried e-e-everything..
Didnt work.. Click Galore everywhere.... Hae?

(By the way, because Usine understands Midi Program Change Messages. I am now working on a Numerology Playslist with 32 Presets
that send Program Changes 1-32, assigned to Usines Grid Section 1-32, so I can then just rearrange the presets in Numerologys Playlist. and
even copy and duplicate stuff around. Also when doing it like this you can do section-sequences like 1-1-3-1-1-4-5-6 and so on,
which is not possible otherwise and a lot of other funny stuff because of the nonlinearity of N4s playlist.... )

That's really interesting. Thanks a lot for your comment.

I didn't know about Numerology, and it seems interesting as well.

I feel a bit frustrated right now, knowing you tried every possible solutions to solve this.

I've tried to use a Selector Data sending numbers to the Go to section / Grid Settings module, but it is not working very good.

I'm trying to use the Grid for ordering some patches in a more pattern approach.

At the moment the results are not so good. I'will continue trying.

Thanks again,
