Vocoder III problem

Hi,

Perhaps I do something wrong... The 'synthesis' part of the Voc III seems to work improperly. When I open and connect the Voc II device (and use the default settings) everything works ok ie. signal connected to 'analyze' in is controlled by signal connected to 'synthesis' in. I can't say the same about III: when I play notes from a synth (for example miniscope) nothing happens (it looks like the signal doesn't reach the 'inside' part of the III. But when I try to control the synth by noise knob - the signal sometimes go and sometimes not... Hope you understand what I mean... Is it a bug or my fault?

Had exactly the same problem, and was set straight on Pulsar/Scope Yahoo group.

Vocoder3 needs to receive a midi note signal to activate the synthesis input - easiest way to do this is just to run a midi cable from the synth you're using to Vocoder3. Should all then work OK.

It really works!!! Thanks once more, Shifty!!! Now (after the Pulsar 1 patch installed and solved VocIII problem) I can say my Pulsar + Luna system is very good (both soft and hardware!!!). Besides small (for now for my purposes) bugs it behaves brilliant!!!

. And even my musical spirit came to me back ;-D

No worries.

BTW it's worth any Pulsar user getting themselves on the Yahoo Pulsar/Scope mail group. Partly because of the gems of wisdom that are passed on from time to time, but mainly because of the gigantic arguments that erupt on a regular basis.
