Hello,

I just jumped on the G2 engine bandwagon ($799 from MF!).

I have two quick questions...

* Is there a trace module within the patch editor? I would like to see what some values are as they change. I have been using an A/D module, but it's not the friendliest way to read a value Wink

* Is there a way to record incoming triggers to a Note Seq? I want the triggers to be recorded at the same time as values from incoming MIDI notes... so far I could only see controlling them manually with a pushbutton.

cheers

Cool that you got an engine!! Get ready for sleep deprivation, stroopwafels and pure patching bliss Wink

About a trace module; there isn't one (to the regret of many users), however for quick visual reference you can use this hack: feed the signal you want to visualize into a midi CTRL send module (CC value input), set to an unused CC# and the midi channel to "slot A" (assuming you are patching and reading out in slot A; do not use "this slot"). Now insert a Constant module (level group) somewhere in your patch, right-click to assign a midi cc to it and select the same midi CC# as you assigned to the midi ctrl send module.
Works quick 'n dirty, since resolution is low and only works on 0-64 without scaling or other adaptations, but gives a quick visual reference. Quick example attached (didn't try it, but should work).

Other quick reference is putting the signal into a mixer with VU meter, such as the mixer 4-1b. They are slooowwwww however.

Thanks for the tips... I guess I will continue to use the A/D it's not that bad to read the value from, but it doesn't have a history.

Something that graphed an input against time would be awesome, but I can't sacrifice the patch load to do it via controllers.

cheers

There is one more hidden trick, you can assign the VU meters of the 4 stereo mixer, or output modules (output 2 and output 4), etc to the g2 panel (right click over the vu level and assign it to a knob), it's a peak hold assignment, not the accurate solution that Fozzie recommended (the best option as far as I know), aaaand can assign to the panel are the output gate indicator of LFO A & B.

I don't know if there are others.

If you wanted to see the control data (dial movement/motion) recorded, graph style, over time.

You could use the ctrl send trick and just record the controller data into as DAW, like Ableton/Cubase etc..

Also i don't think the ctrl send modules use very much dsp power.
